Can the word "rook" be used as a verb in chess?

According to Merriam-Webster, the word queen can be used as a verb with the meaning "to become a queen in chess". I am wondering if the work rook can be used in the same way: Is it grammatically correct to use the work rook in chess to mean "to become a rook in chess"?

For example:

White has rooked his pawn to prevent stalemate.

Is this sentence grammatically correct?
