I am not sure if this is the right writing but I used the tower at h8

 

[stormerne]

Yes your writing is perfect. And it's what I expected you to do!

These "castles" (rather than towers), are most commonly called "rooks" in English (like the black bird) and this comes from the Persian "rokh" said to have meant "warrior".

There wasn't much choice! The other options were temporary and contrived. Have you foreseen my next one though?
