king did not move through check, so it is legal
Illegal move - what to do?
Sort:
Uh no, but don't worry; it's a common enough misperception. It's only the K that can't move through check. Perfectly legal for the rook to move. Let me see if I can find an article...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castling
Rule no5: The king does not pass through a square that is attacked by an enemy piece.[4]
However, in order to castle, the following conditions must be met:
- 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

baddogno - take a look on the wikipedia entry I've posted above
White's king does not pass through b1. The rook does, but this is perfectly legal.
Bf5 doesnt “occupy” b1 (though it’s influence would affect the king if it were relevant with castling)
Ra1 can pass freely
Ra1 can pass freely

There is:
| 3.8.2.2 | Castling is prevented temporarily: |
| 3.8.2.2.1 | if the square on which the king stands, or the square which it must cross, or the square which it is to occupy, is attacked by one or more of the opponent's pieces, or |
"The square which it must cross" is attacked by the bishop.

Hi,
here is the game:

White has just castled long side. But that must not be possible because the black bishop is on f5 pointing to b1.
What to do?
Best wishes,
Heinrich.
