    Check out this game. I am white.

    http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=44844126

    How do i castle here? I move the white king to c1, or i move the rook to c1 or d1, and still nothing happens. What am i doing wrong?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess960#Rules_for_castling

     

    According the the rules an diagrams in that, i should be able to castle long? Ie castle towards the a side/0-0-0? Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong and how i can castle?

    Try dropping the K directly on top of the R. ...or is it the other way 'round.. Anyway, one of those. :)

    Thanks for the accurate answer, dropping one on the other worked (Castled QueenSide) and was also fun.  And I found this thread on my search.

    Is there any way this info could pop up from a little link or something in the chess960 game window? This method is special to chess.com and not how it is described in the Wikipedia Chess960 article. I wish I'd known as I moved the king against the rook and it just got left right there with no rook move & no way to undo the move!
