Chess Power Trail - Rook
Each player starts with two rooks positioned at the corners of the board. Rooks move horizontally or vertically across the board, covering any number of squares in a straight line. They cannot jump over other pieces. Rooks are particularly effective in open positions where they can control files and ranks. Rooks play a crucial role in the endgame, where their long-range movement becomes even more significant. Rooks are often involved in coordinating with each other to control key lines on the board and contribute to checkmating the opponent's king. A common strategy is to connect the rooks by moving the king out of the way and then coordinating the rooks along a rank or file. Rooks are generally considered valuable pieces, and losing them can significantly weaken a player's position.
