castle has jumped over king....glitch or new move?
Sort:
My opponent has just moved his castle to the right by jumping over his king! Is this a glitch in this game or a new move I’m unaware of? I’m not talking about castling, the king hasn’t moved.
game?
This does sound like a glitch Charlie_Girl. If your rook which was never designed to jump over a piece does the coding had gone wack. I would report the bug.

If this is a Chess960 game then it might be legal, but if this is a standard game, it is illegal. Can you post the pgn?

It's a 960 game and your opponent castled.

It is a glitch I think
It's not a glitch since, as Martin said, it was Chess960. Castling there is pretty tricky
