Castling Bug - Not really

Avatar of Varego

This is for a note in Chess.com Beta by @Reyc14 claiming there is a bug when playing against Computer3-HARD.

 

The claim was that while attacking b1, the computer still castled long, even though he attacked a square between the rook and king.

Misconceptions of castling rules:

It is a common misperception that the requirements for castling are even more stringent than the above.To clarify:

  • The chosen rook may be under attack.
  • The rook may move through an attacked square, provided the king does not. The only such square is the one adjacent to the rook, when castling queenside.
  • The king may have been in check earlier in the game (provided the king did not move when resolving the check).
