    Chess requires skill, planned movements, and concentration from the players. In the game, players aim to capture chess pieces from the other player. And, they do this by strategically moving their own chess pieces. Your child knows how rooks move by now, but do they know how to use the pieces to capture enemy pieces? Look through the worksheet with your kids and circle all the pieces on the board that the rook can capture.
