Answer 1

I assume you tried OR by putting ||, but in switch case statements you cant use this operator. Therefore you just use if

if(j==1 || j==8){
 Rook tower = new Rook("");
            return tower.getBrik();
}else if(j==2 ||j==7 || j==6 || j==7){

Bishop bishop = new Bishop("");
            return bishop.getBrik();
}

Answer 2

Because of fall through (execution continues to the next case statement unless you put a break; at the end, or of course, as in your case, a return), you can just put the cases under each other:

...
case 1:
case 8:
    Rook tower = new Rook("");
    return tower.getBrik();
case 3:
case 6:
    Bishop bishop = new Bishop("");
    return bishop.getBrik();
...
