Rook

A lot of genres have catchy nicknames. I've seen Heyawake and Yajilin shortened as Heya and Yaji. I like Cocktail Lamp and Guide Arrow being shortened to Clamp and Garrow. I propose that the nickname for Chained Block should be Chalk (even though it doesn't fit perfectly).

Rules: Shade some cells such that each connected group of shaded cells contains exactly one clue. Clues must be shaded, and indicate the size of their group of shaded cells. Each group of shaded cells must be connected by a corner to at least one other, forming networks. Two shaded groups belonging to the same network may not have the same shape and size, counting rotations and reflections as the same.
