A rare example of castling with mate where moving the rook to that square (always legal if castling is legal) does not suffice.
...heres a famous checkmate in (2) from May 1966.
Hint: the same castle moves both times.

It's not obvious to find the fastest mate. I improved it to blacks 7th move, so 10 clearly was not best
That made me laugh -- nice composition!

Here are the records for the shortest games that finish with a castling mate – separate for unforced and forced castling move. Surprisingly, the game where 0-0 is necessary is just a single ply longer.
...Have any of you ever encountered checkmate/stalemate by castling, by en passant or some other unusual method before? I am rather curious. Share your thoughts in this thread.
Here is a famous en passant checkmate from a game in 1928.
