Learning how the Rook moves
Here is a set of diagrams showing the different
movements of the
Rook, every possible move is indicated with an arrow:
|
When the Rook is in the center of the board,
it can move to 14 different squares
|
|
In this position, the Rook is restricted in its movements by its
own pieces, as it cannot jump over pieces, it can only go to 9
different squares.
|
As we can see from these diagrams the Rook can move in
horizontal and vertical lines, all the way until it meets an obstacle (end of board or a
piece).
