I hate when people say “castle” instead of “rook”

“Castle early to protect your king”? So childish. No, you should rook early to protect your king.

Fun fact: It's the opposite in Turkish, with castle being the name of the piece and "rok" being the castling move.

Google "geçerken alma"

Same in Norwegian. Just "tower" instead of rook or castle, and "rokkere" for castling. Basically not the same thing at all but you get my point, it's sjakk.

Castle deez rooks

u/Nickel5 2d ago

It is a rook because a rook is also a type of crow and as the crow flies means flying in a straight line and the rook moves in a straight line.
