Illegal Castle from Game on this Website

Sort:

It is my understanding that the rules are that the king is not allowed to castle through check either on the queen or the kings side.  However with my game that is exactly what happened. I reported it to the website.

The king never passed through or landed on an enemy controlled square.

Yes it did...the bishop has a path through the second castle.

The rook can move through an attacked square, but the king cannot.  The castling move in this case is legal.

In this case the king passed through the illegal square, though the check of the bishop.

The bishop attacked the b8 square to which the black king never reaches on a queenside castle.

Erik would never go for it of course, since he wants the site to be as profitable as possible, but maybe you should have to pass a basic chess competency test before you're allowed to play?  And yes, qudhru, I'm talking about you...

Ok I get it.  Sorry for the inconvience.....  I checked the rules and it never mentioned the queenside castle rules.

It's somehow amusing how one goes about reporting stuff without knowing the rules.
It's like that one time when a guy accused me of cheating when I captured a pawn en passant.

The only weird thing about this is that Kortchnoi (as an adult) got confused about this very rule. Go figure. Laughing

The rules are the same both sides, that's why it's not mentioned specifically.
You don't ask how a kingside bishop captures just because it's on a different colour.

No it's a very valid point

It doesn't matter which side... The rules are exactly the same

The op claims he didn't know the rules flr "queenside castling

Not any different

He coulda done the same King side

Doesn't mattdr

To be fair, Kortchnoi got confused about lots of things.
