Rook all the way.
1. They move in a straight line, none of this diagonals or L-shape mess to deal with. Charge right the eff ahead!
2. They’re not crazy OP or super special unique like the Queen. Plus, you’ve got two, so you can smarsh one and keep on partying.
3. They’re big old rocks, and nothing beats rock.
4. You can annoy better chess players by not understanding how castling works.
5. Rooks can’t do anything at first because someone else is in the way, which I can super relate to most days.

@TiffAching Great answer! Especially number 4.

@ProfessorPlum77 I had a friend in college who was super into philosophy and chess. Annoying him about both was a major pastime.

@TiffAching It sounds like you had a crush on him. 🤓

@ProfessorPlum77 Ha! Nope, but if you can’t annoy your friends with their own interests, then who can you annoy?

@TiffAching I always took teasing to hear. And now, I have no friends. 🤔
