The Pawn has several unique attributes. In their first move, each pawn has the option to move forward one space or two spaces. After this move, they can only move one space forward. However, they are also the only chess piece that captures in a method different from how they move. To capture, the Pawn moves diagonally one space (see the diagram).
The rook can move any number of squares in a straight line along any column or row. They CANNOT move diagonally for any reason. In the example shown in the diagram on the upper-right, the rook can move or capture in any square that has a blue dot. The simplicity of the rook's movement is indeed what makes it powerful. It can cover a significant area of the board and there are no areas which an opponent's piece - moving one square at a time - can slip through. Note that at all times the rook has the potential to attack 14 squares.
