No, no. No.

These are the conditions under which you CANNOT castle.

1. Your king has been moved earlier in the game.
2. The rook that castles has been moved earlier in the game.
3. There are pieces standing between your king and rook.
4. The king is in check.
5. The king moves through a square that is attacked by a piece of the opponent.
6. The king would be in check after castling.

7. The castling must be horizontal.

Prawns on a chess board...now that would be interesting.

And when you capture one, you can eat it.

The trueth is out there :)   Thank you for your time

 good answer lol

is castleing allowed if the in-between squares are under attack from the opponent

No, if your king is castling through a square the opponent controls it is not allowed

Continuing the previous Q : The king is not under attack or any of the squares that the king will pass thru while castling. But The rook can be under attack while castling.

I believe you can castle if the rook is under attack, it's just the king that you need to worry about while castling. Could be wrong though. I will double check now

Ok I checked and you can definitely  castle even if the rook is under attack

Thank ThatGuyNamedJeff! That was helpful.

I wonder what the "king" here represents...

...whales? seahorses?

I just realised that you revived a very very old thread.

No problem!
