The Rooks In the game, rooks are also known as castle. Their ability is to only move multiple boxes in a straight line. As they can move only in a straight line, there are more focus to achieving their goals. Not a bad quality to have but with that comes a certain amount of stubborness that they will miss other opportunities. Rooks are not afraid of hard work, but at the same time could probably learn to work smarter.

The knight Knight is also called horse. They are an indecisive person so they do not have good set of direction as they only can move in L-shaped directions (limited move space) which is a flaw, but if use well, the flaw can be an advantage. They are adaptable to many scenarios, yet limited by their particular skill set.

26/ General knowledge
Foresight Foresight in general is the ability to predict the future or what will happen in the future. This method is very applicable to chess as life is. In chess, every move you make will affect the few next moves of you or your opponent. As in life, being able to know or predict what will happen in your daily life will overcome mostly all of your problems.
circumspection In the game of chess, surveying the whole Chess Board is a compulsory. Any relation of chess pieces and scenario of the game. In life, knowing what situation of each situation makes a problem much more easier to be soluble.
CAution Ever heard of the phrase “look before you leap”. Every move you take has it’s consequences. Well, applicable to real life, you shouldn’t act without first considering the possible consequences or dangers you shouldn’t act without first considering the possible consequences or dangers. In chess, one wrong move could be your end game and so called ‘checkmate’.
