The Rook

Name: Rook

Favorite Activity: Teaming up with another rook or the queen and aiming at the enemy king

Favorite Food: Warm rocks and milk

Most Embarrassing Moment: Accidentally moving diagonally during his first time on the chess board

Advice to Chess Players: "Two rooks are better than one. If you get two of us rooks lined up on a file we can be very powerful. Almost as powerful as a queen (but don't tell her I said that!) We don't like being stuck behind pawns, so open up some space for us to move up and down, side to side." (Excerpt of a secret message delivered to Academic Chess.)
