Chess960 Question

Avatar of ClavierCavalier

Can someone have both rooks on the same side of the king in chess960, or is it against the randomization rules, like bishops have to be on opposite colors?  Take this position for example.  It looks like castling is out of the question.

Castling seems a bit strange in chess960, any ways.  Here is a strange one, but castling can at least be worthwhile to move the rook to the other side.

In my most current chess960 game, half of the pieces are on their normal starting square, so that's being a little confusing.  It takes me a second to realize which game I'm looking at.

Nah, the randomization rules require the king to go between the rooks.

EscherhcE is correct. The king must go between the rooks, and the bishops obviously must be on different colored squares to start.
