Unable too castle

Sort:
READYable

Hello

Im playing a game vs leethechicken, and it seems im unable too castle "queen side", we havnt reached that stage in the game, but when i play forward on the analisys board it seems that i cant castle ( we both can castle king side) whislt my opponent can. There is nothing blocking my way, im not passing through check, and i havnt moved either piece. I think this is some kind of strange bug. I am playing on my phone (which has a cracked screen) and that might have something to do with it.

Here is the game:

I woudnt be too bothered, but i have been playing so far with the assumption that i can castle too the right side of the board.

You're playing black. The Queen is between the rook and king preventing queenside castling.

 

 

The most important thing to remember about castling in a 960 game is that the King and Rook end up on exactly the same squares as they would in a standard game:

  • Castling king-side (0-0) results in the King on the g-file and the Rook on the f-file; 
  • likewise, castling queen-side (0-0-0) leaves the King on the c-file and the Rook on the d-file.

Yes i know, im saying that when i play into the future (on the analsyis board) and move the queen out of the way, it dosnt seem too work.

Edit : It works on the web, its just the phone app that dosnt respond to that move.
