in my match against adem 14 played today 9/01at move 21 my opponent moves 0-0-0 while my bishop controls a box between the rook and the King, how is it possible?
Yes indeed, b8 is controlled by the bishop! And the king goes through! At move 21 watch it

The black king moves from e8 to c8. At no point does the black king move to or through b8.

Because he's allowed to castle. You have to control a square that the KING goes through to actually stop castling.
