Castling Vertically? Real Rule? If so, how did/does it work?

@Rsava: do USCF rules forbids vertical castling?

Ok, why are you trolling?

Lets clear this up for @Speedybulletchess. The queen is not allowed to move like a knight because the rules state that it cannot. Vertical castling is technically possible because there are no rules that state that it isn't, and in the position shown by the op, vertical castling follows all the rules that are applied to normal castling.

(this form is so stupid LOL)

Where in the rules does it say a queen CAN'T move like a knight? It says how a knight CAN move but not how it CAN'T. That applies to the same thing with castling vertically (I liked how that one guy pointed out that it's basically IMPOSSIBLE to get a position that you would be able to castle that long without moving your king AND without being in check or any of those squares being in check) in that the rules never say you CAN'T castle like that but the rules say HOW to castle. 

Regardless, this discussion is so dumb because the rules make it clear how to castle. LOL. 

This was created to be a troll thread so I decided to bud in.  

Can you promote a pawn to a pawn then move backwards?

Considering the people's logic in the form, that make's perfect sense. 

No, but I think it was allowed at one time. It's now called promotion, which means it has to promote, or go up in value. A pawn to a pawn wouldn't be promoting. Just like castling vertically. It might have been allowed at one time, but isn't now because it's vertical. The rules say it can only happen horizontally. Which means castling diagonally is not possible either.

This was not at all meant to be a troll. It was a genuine valid question.

The logic that there has to be no rule for a situation because the situation most likely won't happen is a FALLACY. What if it DOES HAPPEN? That's the whole point! If it happens. What if I deliberately promote to a rook to create the situation.

Ok dude, have USCF implement this rules. See if it ever happens. (so a king can castle diagonally too?) 

No, because the rook has to be a newly promoted pawn on the 8th rank, therefore the king would have would have to be in a corner, meaning the king moved

well, if we're making up new rules, why not have the king be able to move too? 

This is not new rules. Vertical castling is BASED on current rules. Unless the rules say it has to occur on the back rank, it can occur vertically

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Why does this has over 50 posts already. It was such a simple question

 ok bro you just do that LOL 

sometimes simple questions are so dumb, they need explanation  

I'm not a TROLL!!! 

Alright bro, u tell me where it says a queen cannot move like a knight?
