Hey folks!

Only started playing here, and noticed some people switch the rook with the king...

How is this done??

Thanks!!

Black magic - or white magic, if you're playing as white.

If you are that new to chess then note this is considered a king move.

Move the king over two squares and the rook will automatically move.

You can castle in over the board (OTB) chess as well. Remember to touch the king first and follow the rules rooperi pointed out to you.
