Answer is no. I'm assuming you're talking about the situation where the "check" piece is pinned, and King tries to castle through piece's check. This requires 2 explanations, so here are both:

-King cannot move into/through a check by a pinned piece, because that piece will take your King before you can take the other King. It's about which King is captured first.

-King castling is treated is making two moves in a row, one of which moves into a check by the pinned piece.

Hi!

Ok question, can you castle after you have been in check? I only play with my dad and this is how we have been playing for years but if we get put into check and block it or whatever we can’t castle after that. So like, being put into check once takes castling away. And I just thought to look up the rules of castling today lolol so is that wrong???

If you've been checked before, you can still castle as long as you're not currently in check (so you blocked or captured the checking piece).

You can move the rook as many times as you want but it has to come back to its original square before you castle. The king is the only piece where the rule applies that you can't castle after already having moved the king.

how can someone with as many games as you have and with you rating be this dense?  Or do you use a program to play for you.

I’m sorry your life is so terrible that it makes you feel it’s necessary to be hateful to strangers for no reason at all.  Maybe you wouldn’t be such a d*ck if you sought therapy.

sorry, man, but if you dont know when castling is not allowed you probably need to do some serious studying before you even attempt to play a game.

Isn't asking and learning about chess studying?

1) If pieces are between the king and rook, they cannot castle.

2) If the squares the king would move from, to, or over are in check, he cannot castle.

3) If either the king or rook moved, they cannot castle.

If opponent give check 3 times and you have never even given check once then u can not castle as a penalty

Hi,

This might be a basic question which is answered already.

What are the situations when a castling is not allowed be it king or queen's side.

This came to my mind as there is a game when I was not at all allowed to castle to queen's side while the opponent's white queen was at f6 and my black pawn at e7 was at e6 and the all the pieces at the 8th square was not there excpet the rooks and the king which was not moved at all.

I initially thought it's a glitch in the program until I analysed it using computer which showed me I can't castle !!!

Request an answer to all the scenarios or at least a link where I can study the same.

Thanks in advance whoever helps me out.

David

1. Rook or king has moved.

2. Passing through check.

3. Castling into check.

4. Castling to get out of check.

All of the above are illegal in castling.

I was under the impression that you could castle to get out of check.......? surprise it wouldn't be the 1st time I was wrong. frustrated

What method are you using to castle? Does that match your setting in Settings > Board and Pieces under Castling Method
