Not sure if this is the right place to put this.

"Black's knight is misplaced on the edge of the board, but is dreaming of castling on the next turn. How can we prevent Black's king from castling and deliver a deadly check?"

Apart from Black's knight apparently wanting to castle on the next turn, is castling not already prevented due to Ba3 controlling f8?

I don't want to be pedantic, but someone might look at that and think you can only prevent castling by checking.

I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't waste everyone's time.
