I can't switch my king with rook, what happened? I know the rules, just it doesn't working.

There's a change being rolled out, so if you're trying to click the king and the rook, that may not work due that. That method will only work in 960.

You should move the king two squares over instead.

Just curious : Why was this changed?

Because it was too easy to accidentally castle when not meaning to.

What is 960? I'm experiencing the same problem. I can't move my king and rook but my opponent can.
