Is there a way at-a-glance to determine whether opponent (and you) is castle-eligible? I blamed a loss one time on mixing up opponents during concurrent matches. Both opponents had K on original e8 and one had already moved it. I thought the other opponent had moved his K and played accordingly. Was I ever surprised, and saddened, when he castled.
I've never got my own play mixed up but Murphy's Law, and advancing dementia, makes so inevitable.
Not just looking at the game, without looking at the move list to see if there's been previous king moves. The game FEN has that data in it though.
