Hi Laurence,
You only got the rook right! I do not mean to be rude, but if you do not speak
Spanish you should not try to answer this kind of post. Yes, I know that you
only tried to be helpful to Bruce, but your incorrect answer can easily do more
harm than good.
Fortunately Miguel has given an accurate answer, and other people have nicely
complemented it.
José.
