    The title says it all. The rook is…indeed a highly mobile stone tower.

    Like, I’m just imagining facing off another army, and in the distancr I see a 4 storey tower grinding through the earth at 80 km/h towards us.

      I’d resign on the spot.

          You: Resigning on the spot. The Whole Ass Prison: Very quickly approaching your location.

        I’d just make sure I was on the team capable of moving around stone towers.

        Seems like they’re going to win a lot.

    I wonder what the initial idea behind the rook was.

    Was it always a literal tower that just squashed you?

      The original Indian form was a chariot, while the modern piece started as a war elephant with a tower and eventually was just reduced to a tower.

      I’m not sure, but I think it is a chariot
