I'm playing chess and I want to know the point value assigned to a rook. I'm trying to understand the relative strength of each piece on the board.

The rook, often referred to as the castle, is valued at 5 points. It is a powerful piece that can move along the ranks and files of the board.

The bishop, which moves diagonally across the board, is worth 3 points. Its ability to cover long distances and control squares makes it a valuable asset.

The knight, known for its unique "L-shaped" movement, is also valued at 3 points. It is particularly useful for forking and skewering opponents' pieces.

The pawn, the smallest and most numerous piece on the board, is assigned a point value of 1. Although individually weak, pawns can become powerful when they reach the opponent's back rank and promote to a queen.
