The rook
The rook moves in straight lines.
It can move forward, backward or sideways, as far as it likes.
Now look at the board: the rook can move to all 14 squares that have a plus sign in it.
In one move, a rook can cross the whole board.
But a rook can’t jump over other pieces.
The rook looks like a castle.
That is why people used to call the rook a castle.
What do you have to do?
First, move the rook to collect all the coins.
Then, go to the flag and take that.
The rook can move to the green plus signs.
