When the Rook is in the center of the board, it can move to 14 different squares |
In this position, the Rook is restricted in its movements by its own pieces, as it cannot jump over pieces, it can only go to 9 different squares. |
As we can see from these diagrams the Rook can move in horizontal and vertical lines, all the way until it meets an obstacle (end of board or a piece).
