Castling for Black isn't legal in the position you give. To castle O-O with the Rook on d8, you first have to move the two Knights. To castle O-O-O with the Rook on a8, you first have to move the Rook on d8 (to a square other than c8). In the other game you give castling O-O was legal (already from the first move). It would be worth the time to study the rules of chess960 castling before playing any more games. I assume they are available in French somewhere. - Mark
