CASTLING
Sort:
CASTLING : It is a chess term. And the special circumstance power in the game when a player is permitted to move two pieces at once, involving King and Rooks, is called castling.
Basically, the castling move is made by moving the king two squares toward a Rook and the Rook goes to the square over which the king passed to get to his new position. It can be done on either side of the board.
it is illegal to castle when the king is in check and there are some other provisos, too. Unless, like some players, who make their own rules to suit their convenience.
Your point is what exactly?! Most chess players know what castling is and online sites enforce only legal castling anyway. Over the board it is up to an opponent to point out illegal castling unless it is a high level small tournament with an arbiter for each board, and even then it may be up to the opponent, but then high level players don't castle illegally anyway.

You failed to mention, just like a lot of others, that castling can only be done with a rook on the same rank.

Without this stipulation, castling with a newly promoted, unmoved rook is possible.
