Chess960 - can't castle

Sort:
Mantschgo

Can anybody tell my why I am not able to castle in this position?

If I try it in the browser, it just doesn't work if I drag my King onto my Rook. When looking at the Analysis Board, castling is not possible for any side, or any player, no matter at which point in the game.

If I try it on mobile, castling works as a move in the game, as well as in the Analysis Board. But when actually trying to do and send the move, I get the following error:

Can anybody tell me what's wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Mantschgo please note that with the king traveling potentially longer distances than classical chess to castle, it is important to remember that the king cannot castle through check for it to be deemed legal.

Looks like a bug to me. Castling should be legal there. Did you try dragging your rook on top of your king?

In this case, the King would not castle through a check. And on the mobile analysis board, the castle is considered valid. You can see the position after castle in the second picture - only the Rook moves to the right. The King does not move at all.

I have tried everything on the browser. On mobile, the castle move is possible, but it is not possible to actually play it, as the error comes when clicking on the move confirmation. (It's a Daily960 game)

Well, in that case, the best you can do is to report this as a bug by clicking on Help (left below corner -> Report a bug).
