I hear a lot of people call the rook a "castle."
After doing an "en passant" move: "What?? That's not legal!! You can't do that!" Then you show them on the Internet or in a book that it is and they're like: [silence].
After delivering a discovered check where another piece is in range to capture another piece. They try to capture that piece and you say it's illegal: "What??" You: [points to the checking piece(s)] Them: "Oh..."
Sooooo true about discovered checks, lol

some guy thought castling meant switching the king and the rook's places and that you could do it any time.
Lol, I tell them they can only castle when I tell them to. I usually win!

Of course that is how you teach children, especially girls, to set up the pieces at the begining of the game. So they can remember.
1st: Tell them that the king and queen are geting married and the queen's shoes have to match her dress. (queen on own color square)
2nd: they get maried by the bisshop. (bishops are a adjacent to the royal family)
3rd: Then after they get married they run off on a horse to live in a castle. So that the knight and rook go on the next sqaures.
4th: They live hapily ever after and have 8 little children happily playing in the front yard. So pawns go on the next row in front of the other pieces.
Taught my daughter to set the pieces up ike that when she was about 4 years old , Now a fifth grader she has never forgotten.

What if the queen doesn't want her "shoes" to match her "dress"? Jeez!
well then she's an idiot. guys find shoes matching dresses much better.
don't forget the handbag matching her jewel tone.
And finger polish matching toe polish.
and pet matching socks.
The pet's sweater also.
