FAQ
Answered from chess-rook's own facts: its shelf, the weights it was drawn in, its siblings and its dates.
- What is the chess-rook icon for?
- A chess rook on its base, for strategy, board games, planning a move and defence. It is filed under Sport in Keyline Icons, drawn on the same 24×24 grid as the rest of the set. People look for it as rook, castle, tower, chess, strategy and board game, and the browser's search matches all of those.
- What styles does the chess-rook icon come in?
- All four: stroke, two-tone, duotone and fill. They are drawn from the same geometry, so swapping style never moves anything.
- Is there a square or circle version of chess-rook?
- No. chess-rook is drawn as a bare glyph, and the set has no boxed variant of it.
- What other icons go with chess-rook?
- american-football, award, baseball, basketball, cricket-bat and crown, and 12 more, all shown below. They are the Sport shelf: nothing else in the set is named after chess.
- How do I import chess-rook in React?
- <ChessRook /> is the component, and the weight decides the module: stroke from "@keyline-icons/react", two-tone from "@keyline-icons/react/two-tone", duotone from "@keyline-icons/react/duotone" and fill from "@keyline-icons/react/fill". It takes the usual SVG props plus a size, so <ChessRook size={16} /> and className="size-4" both work, and there is no provider or theme to set up.
- Where is the chess-rook SVG?
- icons/stroke/chess-rook.svg, icons/two-tone/chess-rook.svg, icons/duotone/chess-rook.svg and icons/fill/chess-rook.svg in the repository, normalised: no wrapper, no ids and no classes to strip out. The tabs above hand you the same drawing as SVG or JSX without the download, and neither needs an install.
- When was chess-rook added to the set?
- Added 25 Oct 2026. It ships in v2.2.0, so an install at that version or later has it.
Questions about the set rather than about this drawing are answered where they belong. The home page covers what the set is, how the three styles differ, why some icons come boxed and where the Figma file is; installing the set in a shadcn/ui project covers the React package, the CLI and using an icon without React. The MIT licence is stated in the footer of every page.
