The plastic rook
Alsothe old rook; the Board-14 rook; the rook that never played
A cheap black plastic rook with a chipped crenel and a 14 sticker, kept among the instructor's wooden pieces since Board 14; in the gods it holds a grey card with the move it never played, Rc2+, and the boy plays ten checks with it and falls asleep with his finger on it.

The one piece in the box that never got to play. It is plastic among wooden pieces, it carries a 14 sticker, and in the gods of the box world it holds the move it should have made at Board 14: Rc2+. A nine-year-old finally plays it.
