Rooks

Today I learned that rooks should be placed on an open file (well, I already knew that part), that they are strongest when doubled or tripled, and that a queen behind two rooks on an open file is named after Alekhine because he did it in a game once. I also learned that getting both rooks on the 7th rank is super strong and often leads to victory.
