Yes. If you think another move is better, say why you think so and which move it is.

I will castle Queenside. White has a solid initiative on the KingSide and two semi open files for his rooks. It's gonna be unpleasant to defend if black castles KingSide.

queenside probably
Why?
because it would be hard to defend if you castle kingside, and you cant really attack on the queenside because of the backwards c pawn

and was this a position from one of your games or smth?
Yeah. Looked interesting, so I posted it.
If you were wondering, I castled queenside.

Hm... castling kingside and then throwing pawns at the queenside looks attractive, and is what I would likely play in this position. However, I think that with those pawns already on g4 and h3, White's attack will be a lot quicker. For example: 0-0 h4! h6 h5 Bh7 g5! and White's attack is in full swing while Black hasn't even started and now will be forced to defend.
So in this case I'd say castle queenside - if the bishop wasn't on g6, it might be a different story...
That's what I thought as well.
Won't say if that's wrong or right though.

Given you thought of it, it's probably wrong

Basically, I give you a position and 2 moves. You say what you think is the best move, (Maybe if you think a different move is a best move you can state your reasons why you think that is.)
Anyway, I hope this will be productive and instructive and won't fail. But, here's the position:
Black to move. Castle queenside, or kingside?
I would castle queenside because the pawns on the kingside seem dangerous and I feel like I would be vulnerable to being attacked.

The a2 pawn is protected.
That's very aggressive thinking though. I like that.
