Castling Rules
Sort:
Is it legal to castle in order to get out of check/checkmate?
Just asking. No need to get offended.
Thanks though.

No, you are permitted to castle if you are in check or the king would pass through an attacked square. However, you may castle if only the rook or a square the rook passes is under attack.
I was playing the computer on chess.com and it wasn't letting me castle out of check!

Looks right to me.
It sounds right besides for the part about castling through check. I'm not sure about that. Isn't there somewhere on chess.com where they have official rules or something?
If it's your rook then it's not through check! 😉
Only your ROOK Damn it 
You can only castle under these conditions; 1-you're checkmated 2- a black pawn is positioned on the h5 square 3-the first character of your your username is 'k'.
If all conditions are met and still failing to castle try restarting your device and router.

Remember when you could play e1=R then proceed to castle vertically?
You can actually do that?

My grandfather would tell stories of back in the day where he had to castle in the snow, uphill.
