Rook

The Rook is a castle-like chess piece in the game of chess. Each player starts the game with two rooks, one on each corner on their own side of the chessboard.

Movement

 * The Rook can move horizontally or vertically in any number of unoccupied squares. It does opposite of what a Bishop does, which only moves diagonally.
 * In the opening, the Rook are blocked by pieces next (which is Knight) and in front of itself (which is the Pawn), so the first move can never be a Rook.
 * The maximum possible moves for a Rook is 14.

Value

 * The Rook is worth 5 points, and the second most value piece in the game of chess. They worth more than Knights or Bishop, but not as valued as a Queen. However, two Rooks worth slightly more than a Queen (10 vs. 9).
 * Winning a rook by exchanging a Bishop or Knight is winning the exchange.

 * Can move unlimited number of unoccupied squares with its moves.
 * Castling
 * Can move into any colored square.

 * Cannot move diagonally.
 * Cannot jump over pieces
