castling

Hi, Im new on here, and I tried to castle but couldn't, so how do you castle,

the one I was playing did castle bigH1938

this is from the rules section of this site

Castling

One other special rule is called castling. This move allows you to do two important things all in one move: get your king to safety (hopefully), and get your rook out of the corner and into the game. On a player’s turn he may move his king two squares over to one side and then move the rook from that side’s corner to right next to the king on the opposite side. (See the example below.) In order to castle, however, it must meet the following conditions:

• it must be that king’s very first move
• it must be that rook’s very first move
• there cannot be any pieces between the king and rook to move
• the king may not be in check or pass through check

MOVE LIST

White to move

Notice that when you castle one direction the king is closer to the side of the board. That is called kingside. Castling to the other side, through where the queen sat, is called castling queenside. Regardless of which side, the king always moves only two squares when castling.

Hi,

I have just checked your game. You should click on your king and move it two squares to the left to square g8. Then click submit move, and it will castle automatically.

sorry about the messed up board...I've no idea whats wrong or how to fix it
