The rook can move 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 squares right or left or up and down the board.
Not quite. A rook can never move eight squares. If the rook begins at one end of a rank or file a move of seven squares will take it to the other end.

Can a castle in chess move diaginally?
The castle (properly called a rook) can only move in straight lines, vertically or horizontally. It can move any number of spaces in these directions. It can also participate in a move called "castling." This is when the king moves two squares sideways towards either rook, and the rook hops over it to the intermediate square. In no circumstances can a rook move diagonally.
How to set up defense in chess?
A very common defense is castling. When the board is rook/empty square/empty square/king the king can move two spaces toward the rook, and the rook can move on the other side of the king. This is allowed to be done in one turn. Before: rook/empty square/empty square/king after: empty square/king/rook/empty square

Can the king move two spaces?
The king, in chess, can only move two spaces when performing a move called "a Castle". This can only be performed when there is no piece between the King and closest Rook (so the bishop and the knight have advanced along the board), and neither the king nor the closest rook have been previously moved. If that is the case, then you can move the king two spaces toward the rook, and place the rook to the space immediately to the left of the King. This is called a Castle, and this is the ONLY time the king can move two space during the duration of one game. Outside of this move, the king only moves one space at a time. - answer provided by black atticus
