In chess how many spaces can a rook move?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Unlimited, it just can't jump over other pieces like the knight

Answer 3

The Rook is also know as the Castle. The rook can move either horizontally or vertically. It can not jump over any pieces. It can move the full length of the Chess board in one move.
