💡 Need a hint?

A rook slides along its row or its column as far as it likes — but it cannot jump over pieces. It can capture an enemy piece in its way.

What you learn here

The rook ♖ moves in straight lines along ranks (rows) and files (columns). It stops at the first piece it meets: it can capture an enemy piece there, but never jump over it.
