are you trying to get hints to beat me?, most effective when you put your castles in front of my pawns for dinner, beginning of the game will do.
You don't want to be bringing your rooks out in the beginning.
certainly not.for some yes for others no.so are for middle or end.
wonder wher the rest of the page went to
In the opening and middlegame, rooks are only really useful when there are open files for them to operate on. They can own a file in the middlegame supporting the work of the other pieces. They can apply pressure if they are on the same file as the king in a kingside attack. A rook lift (to the 3rd rank) can often be the harbinger of doom, supporting a viscious assault on a castled position, often accompanied by a bishop sac to open things up a bit. Get a rook or even 2 rooks onto the 7th rank and you probably have a winning advantage.
In the endgame rooks are very powerful. If they have freedom of movement they increase their value to that of two minor pieces. They support pawns, isolate kings and can cover every square on the board at speed.
All strategy rules are general. The individual position always pulls rank over any general rule (even this one).
never bring rooks out early.
nice point c4.
