Turrets instead of Rooks

 The word 'rook' is  translation from Persian of the word Rukh which means 'Chariot'. This of course is a far more sensible description than both the English word, and indeed the English depiction for the piece. However, sometimes the Rook fulfils the traditional role of sitting in the corner of the board, and being unable, or unwilling to move. This is a bad thing.
