how do you switch positions between the King and rook in this game?
Avatar of Growlithe99
Switching positions between the king and the rook is called castling. You first click on the king, and then on the spot two spaces from either the left or the right side of the king. If you click on the left side, you'll switch places with the left rook. Same thing goes for the right side and the right rook.

You can only castle if:
-You haven't moved your king yet
-you haven't moved the rook you want to castle with yet
-The spaces between the rook and the king are totally empty
-the spot where the king will end up if it castles isn't being attacked by an opponent's piece
