This lesson shows you how the Rook moves. It moves forwards, backwards and sideways as many squares as it likes. Up and down, left and right.
|
|
A Rook can be BLOCKED by a friendly piece. Here, the Rook CANNOT move onto or beyond the square occupied by the White Pawn.
|
|
A Rook can CAPTURE an enemy piece by moving onto its square. In this position the White Rook can CAPTURE the Black Pawn. To make a capture you take the enemy piece off the board and replace your piece on that square. It's NOT the same as checkers (draughts) - you DO NOT capture by jumping over an enemy piece.

Watch the movie and see how the White Rook captures the Black Pawns.
