long castle or short castle

I get it. From your perspective, castling isn’t good. Even though  I differ with you I respect it. But for me castling is safer. 

Depends

You can play however you like, but do not argue saying it’s more safe, because it’s a proven fact that castling (in the vast majority of games) is the better option. Opponents can easily open the center of the board and brings their better developed pieces to an attack if you chilling in the center. Not castling is not a “style”. It’s a misconception. A style would be positional or tactical play, defensive or attacking, which is contributed to by the opening chosen by the player.
I really dislike when players like you resort to accusing me of “bragging” because I mention I’m a stronger player. I literally stated that because you said castling is for weak players, which directly contradicts the example of you vs me. I looked at some of your games and your playing is actually not that bad, imagine if you castled! You would probably be 1000 by now honestly.
Offering to coach me is the most absurd idea I’ve ever heard.
Your “style” will not proper play. And beating someone in the 1000’s isn’t that amazing… maybe you castled?

Don’t you love it when 800s think they know better than GMs. Loser.

 

Also, I don’t play puzzle rush on chess.com. I don’t have a membership, so I do that on lichess.

Sorry, I don’t waste my time playing people I won’t learn from. It’s 10 year olds like you that clog the forums after beating your dad in a chess match and you think you’re the next magnus carlsen or something.

You can’t even try to give advice anymore without some 600 troll trying to reinvent the wheel. It’s kinda sad.

 

He probably does puzzles on another site, I do mine on chesstempo.com. 800’s are not good at chess, despite what you have fooled yourself into thinking. Why do I always get involved in these petty arguments? A couple days ago I was arguing with a 150 players about whether he should learn middle game theory on how to punish a bad opening. Now I’m discussing whether castling is necessary with a 600. My god.

600 and 673 are in the same rating range and the play is extremely similar. Lol let’s play a game

My highest rating is rapid….

I’m not going to win in 20 moves because I play d4 and very positionally (closed style Queen’s Gambit positions)

Ok lol this is funny

 

 

And herein lies the problem with the forum. A genuine OP question. A genuine and thorough reply by NOB. And a 600-700ish expert discounting the advice. 

And for the op of the forum

As many others have said it really depends on the position, but I think I have a tendency to kingside castle more often due to my opening choice and how it allows me to castle quicker.

Opposite side castling can lead to some interesting games, as each side is trying to breakthrough with their attack before the opponent breaks through your defense. 

Usually when I don’t castle I’m either being extremely aggressive or I’m being prevented from castling, which leaves my king exposed in the middle if my attack doesn’t succeed and allows the opponent to attack my king.

I didn’t read what I type so there’s probably a lot of grammar mistakes but eh whatever 

I might add that, in most openings, castling is part of the theory. You’ll know which way to castle based off that. For example, in the Sicilian, castling queenside is book sometimes.

Which Sicilian ? There are so many XD

just joking I know 

Hey if your up for a game we can see how quickly you checkmate me when I castle

ForkingTable you lose every game what do you mean?

I mean that you never win a game. If you don’t win how can you checkmate someone?

Learn to ignore comments like this, just keep playing.

All I see is a bunch of losses and a draw by stalemate.

But that wasn’t today. Your comment said “today… chess mated him with a quen”
