The pieces that start on a1, a8, h1, and h8. They move straight vertically and horizontally to your hearts content as long as they don’t hit another piece. If they do, you capture it.

Rooks are one of the most powerful pieces in the game. They move left, right, up or down. You can use them to do something known as castling. You can learn about castling here.

Your rooks are the castle pieces that can move orthogonally. Their starting positions are usually on the corners of the board
