In chess, when and why did the berserkers become rooks?
The Lewis Chessmen have berserkers instead of rooks. That actually makes more sense, since they charge directly toward the enemy, and the Rook is the only piece with no legs. So why did they get changed to the rook?
Michael Scalise
Rooks come from the Persian rukh which actually means "chariot." Over times they've been called "tower's," marquess," "rector's," and "counts" and "earl's." Using the term "castle" is a bit out of date.

The reason for change was too much violence during the games.
