Rooks are also referred to and resemble "castles".
Technically, no, since rooks aren't alive, unless you are talking about rookie players. However, you USE the rooks in ORDER to play chess. (I am referring to the chess pieces, not the Rookie players.)
There are a total of four Rooks at the start of the game .
There are 4 rooks(original) or more in a set of chess. This is because each player gets 2 rooks. Usually, it is 4 rooks, since there are 2 players, but there can be more if it is set to 1v1v1, 1v1v1v1, and so on.
Chess
The game is chess.
Chess was invented as a pass-time by Indian priests. It dates back to about 500 A.D. Chess was actually made to represent a battle. Rooks have the appearance of a tower, pawns look like soldiers, bishops look like the priests, knights look like horses and the king and queen look like royalty. And two opposing sides are fighting each other, trying to capture the king.
There are 4 rooks on the board at the start of a game of normal chess.
rooks, pawns, kings
The rooks were the first pieces I learned to use in chess, because their horizontal and vertical movement pattern was so easy to remember. The rooks in England reminded me of the crows at home in Illinois.

There are no coins in the game of chess, but the game with coins played on a chess board is called checkers. The pieces are also called checkers. For the actual game chess, the pieces are called pawns, king, queen, bishops, knights, and rooks. Pawns are the pieces that look like SORRY! (the game) pieces. the king is usually the piece with a cross on top. The queen wears a crown. The bishops are the pawn-like pieces with a longish head and a slit in the side of the head. The knights look like horses. The rook is the piece that looks like a castle.
The names of the pieces in the game of chess are: * Pawn * Rook (looks like a castle) * Knight (looks like a horse) * Bishop * Queen * King There is a difference between 'pieces' and 'men' because pawns are generally not considered to be 'men.'
