Rook (chess)
A rook ((unicode:♖) (unicode:♜) borrowed from Persian رخ ''rokh'', Sanskrit रथ ''ratha'', "chariot") is a piece in the strategy board game of chess. Formerly the piece was called the ''tower'', ''marquess'', ''rector'', and ''comes'' . The term ''castle'' is considered informal, incorrect, or old-fashioned.〔Oxford English Dictionary 2nd ed. (online version, accessed Jan. 27, 2009), entry for "Castle", def. 9. "''Chess''. One of the pieces, made to represent a castle; also called a ROOK.". New Oxford American Dictionary, 2nd ed. (2005) says that "castle" is informal and an "old-fashioned term for rook". ''The Oxford Companion to Chess'', by David Hooper & Kenneth Whyld, 2nd ed. (1992), p. 344 says "In English-speaking countries non-players sometimes call it a castle...". ''Let's Play Chess'' by Bruce Pandolfini (1986) p. 30, says "The rook is the piece mistakenly called the castle."; ''The Everything Chess Basics Book'' by Peter Kurzdorfer and the United States Chess Federation, Adams Media 2003, page 30, says "... often incorrectly referred to as a ''castle'' by the uninitiated".〕〔''The Official Rules of Chess'' by Eric Schiller, The US Chess Federation Official Rules of Chess (five editions by various authors), ''Official Chess Handbook'', by Kenneth Harkness, ''Official Chess Rulebook'' by Harkness, and ''The Official Laws of Chess'' by FIDE (two editions) all use only the term "rook". Books for beginners such as ''Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess'', ''A World Champion's Guide to Chess'' by Susan Polgar, ''The Complete Book of Chess'' by I. A. Horowitz & P. L. Rothenberg, and ''Chess Fundamentals'' by José Capablanca (2006 revision by Nick de Firmian) also only mention "rook".〕
Each player starts the game with two rooks, one in each of the corner squares on their own side of the board.
==Initial placement and movement==
In algebraic notation, the white rooks start on squares ''a1'' and ''h1'', while the black rooks start on ''a8'' and ''h8''. The rook moves horizontally or vertically, through any number of unoccupied squares (see diagram). As with captures by other pieces, the rook captures by occupying the square on which the enemy piece sits. The rook also participates, with the king, in a special move called castling.
