| The White Knight is checking the Black King, attacking the Black Queen, and also attacking both Black Rooks. |
| As well as having both Rooks en prise he cannot play 24 Qxc3 because of. |
| Instead of just accepting this situation, an experienced player would actively play to create a file for his Rooks. |
| Rooks are the harbingers of spring and many people would love to have a rookery nearby, as we have at Penpergwm. |
| Rooks caw in the trees, jackdaws nest in their new chimney, sparrows feed on neighbours' tables. |
| At the beginning of a chess game each camp owns: 8 pawns, 2 Rooks, 2 Bishops, 2 Knights, a Queen and a Kings. |
