Castling is:

1) A rule of chess. We intend to keep the rules the same.

2) Awesome, and almost always offensive. If you think castling in 4PC is a defensive move, you're evidently not very experienced in the nuances of the game.
Not removing it!


If chess.com intends to keep the rules the same. What about that new king capture rule you guys added. wink.png

Don't miss the point. You do castling sometimes for bringing the rook in the game

Although I think we should keep castling, because it can be a good move in some positions.

castling in 4pc  somewhat better then 2pc although it not easy to do  castling in right way and right time but if able to do that you can create some amazing traps and gain advantage  in moves

nothing wrong with castling, and you can castle in 2pc. So you should be able to castle in any other form of chess.

Some have claimed "chess is better without castling", "better" meaning more potential for spectacular games (or less propensity to boring games). Nah, it´s neither better nor worse. They are on par. It takes out a defensive resource, which can bring more dynamical more attacking games. Bring it on! But it also takes away an attacking resource, and that more or less cancels out.

What to me is beyond debate is that random chess (960) is better without castling, chess-wise and aesthetically-wise. Positions where you can jump the king from b1 to g1, or from g1 to c1, give me a break.

Castling is often a move to certain death. Having the option is better though.
