i wouldn't've guessed that the crooked rook is that strong, but i've never used it. i notice there's no piececlopedia page for the crooked rook, i nominate ralph to write one. <P> i can see now how a crooked rook would dominate an 8x8 board, but i think it would be usable in larger games; i think it would work on optima, which successfully controls a lot of very strong pieces.
