The worse part in castling

Knightvanguard

Isn't that called "Castling into mate?"  That is if Black had just castled. I had to teach myself chess and the first book I purchased on chess only told how to castle and none of the weaknesses of it.  So I saw many such mates until I found some books in the public library to help me.  Of course, I remembered those defeats better than what I learned in the books.  I hope I have anyway.

The first time I was mated after castling, that I remember, was a back-rank-mate. (I like to call it the chamber mate better.) I still get caught in it once in a while.  I just get too engrossed in what I am doing and take too many chances with my plan of attack and wait too long to move one of the pawns for the King's escape route.
