In this case I usually do not use them.
I have attack tables but they do not give me the set of squares that the rook
can move to.

They give me only for every square the direction that it is attacked and for
every relevant direction the squares that can move to it(I say square because
the attack tables give me information about squares and not about the piece that
is the attacker(I can calculate the piece directly from another array))
