Castling is the Worst Rule in Chess

Chess 960 is a scam. Pieces should not be required to mirror each other. It should be totally random. And even with the symmetry it just doesn't produce the same level of interesting complex opening positions that standard chess does with the orientation of pieces on the 1st rank.

technically you cna't castle in chatarunga, which is ancient IndIN CHESS

One of the rooks would then take FOREVER to get out, and brute-force casting exists

GoodChessWizard, does "brute force castling" mean that when it is your move and the way is cleared to castle, that's your forced move? A bit like the "you must move out of check" rule. It's interesting, but it does give Parliament even more power over the monarchy...😀
