Avatar of yola66558847

The rules are the same, as regular chess, except for this changes.

And the change is several variants of castling.

Short castle (0-0)

Long castle (0-0-0)

Long kingside castling (K0-0-0)

In this castling, white king going on f1 and white rook going on e1. This is one move.

Short queenside castle(Q0-0)

In this castling, white king going on b1 and white rook going on c1.

Um watch the naming your "kingside long castle" is actually shorter than any other. This is how i think it should be:

Kingside short castling (K0)

Kingside castling (K0-0)

Kingside long castle(K0-0-0)

Queenside short castling

Queenside castling

Queenside long castle

Kingside castling is commonly referred to as "castling short", though the king moves the same number of spaces. It is the rook move, as well as the notation, that determines whether a castle is long or short.

I know, but on context of the variant it doesn't make that much sense

the king goes shorter. the ROOK goes longer. Also this castle is worse than castling kingside.

Really? It depends, you dont get hit on some weak squares, you are closer to a king walk if needed and your rook is on the middle, you gotta think before saying it

I would say... the kingg is more exposed, but the rook is more in the game. Maybe idk

Ik but it kinda makes sense to use the king instead for this variant, at least from my point of view.
