The Rook
The rook is second in rank in your army only to the queen.
The rook can move quickly, swooping straight across the battlefield.
The rook is more powerful than a bishop who is limited only to her color
square. On an empty battlefield the rook can get to any square in
two moves or less. The rook craves open space on which he can run
free. It is often a key strategy in master battles to try and create
open lines so the rook can sneak through into enemy territory and wreck
havoc on the township. Two rooks bearing down on the same file are like
a battering ram. Any enemy soldiers who are stuck in the path of
this battering ram, of course, die.
