CASTLE!

Just a reminder for all of you to castle.

Remember, castling wins chess games!

Then how come whenever I castle, my opponent still makes moves?

Castling is vastly overrated

I learned this when I first began playing chess. The book I purchased to learn chess was only 120+ pages and it was definitely limited.  It had three pages about the value of castling, and the largest part ofpages was diagrams, and not a word of how to destroy a castle.  Thus, I thought once I had castled the King was safe. Some things just need to be learned through experience. As soon as I played someone that knew how to wreck my castle I began learning that castling is vastly overrated. 

So what happens if both players castle?

I assume that's also reason it's not an illegal position?

LOL

Castle early and often, I recommend at least three times a game
