Hi guys,

I am looking for help.  I am playing a chess 960 game and I want to Castle Queenside 0-0-0.  I have (in their starting positions) a Rook on a1 and my King on b1.  There are no pieces on c1 or d1.  None of the squares a1-b1-c1-d1 is under attack. Also, neither the king or rook has been moved.  I should be able to castle queenside which would/should leave my king on c1 and the rook on d1.  I have tried moving my Rook to d1, but that is not allowed.  I have tried moving my King to c1, which is allowed by the software, but it doesn't move my rook to d1.  So it allows Kc1 but doesn't consider this castling.

My question is, how do I castle queenside from this position?

Try dragging your king directly onto the pertinent rook.

Hi guys,

I got an answer from technical support.  The way you do castling in Chess960 is to first 'click' the king, then without moving it, 'click' the rook.  It works nicely.

Watch your backrank.

yes, maybe its your first time with chess960, isnt it , jchurch, good friend?

in one of mine 960 games (analisys window) I get a wrong annotation for the castling if I drag K over R, or click both: "Kxf1", althrough on the board the castling is correctly executed. The only way to have "0-0" is by dragging the K in his target square.

i was playing with my friend and the same thing happened to me i sort of dragged the King over the rook and dropped it a little left of the rook
