hello eny-7 happy.png 

The rules apply only for the king - the space that the king travel must not be in check:

 

  • The king and the rook may not have moved from their starting squares if you want to castle.
  • All spaces between the king and the rook must be empty.
  • The king cannot be in check.
  • The squares that the king passes over must not be under attack, nor the square where it lands on.

The King cant pass through a square controlled by an opponent.  However a rook can.  I think there is a famous GM game where this was disputed but cant recall it.
