Week 1 · Lesson 2 of 20 · About 15 minutes

The rook and the bishop

Two long-range pieces: one goes straight, one goes diagonally, and neither can jump. You'll be able to: move and capture along lines and diagonals.

Arrow keys move between squares; up is towards your opponent. Enter or Space picks a piece up and puts it down. Escape puts it back.

The rook moves in straight lines: along its rank or its file, as far as it likes, until something's in the way.

Move the rook to the star.
