The rook represents a castle. Castles are far taller than kings, queens, bishops and knights in the real world. Why is the rook so short? What king would have such a diminutive castle built? It would make His Highness a laughingstock! And what knight worth his salt would bother protecting a castle shorter than him? If this draws enough responses, I will start a petition.
man, it’s just a game. it’s not the Middle Ages anymore.
Because if you made it as tall as a castle then it wouldn’t fit on the board.
