The rook
The rook moves in straight lines: along its file, or along its rank. Never diagonally.
It travels as far as it likes, as long as nothing blocks the way. It never jumps over anything: if a piece stands in its path it stops just before — or captures it, if that piece belongs to the opponent.
Your turn
Take the rook all the way up its file, to a8.
