Chess Castling
What is Chess Castling?
We see Chess Castling used often in Chess championships. It is a popular move to throw of the opponent's strategy.
Chess Castling involves two Chess pieces. The King and the Rook.
There are four requirements for Chess Castling: 1) Neither the Rook nor the King can have moved previously in the game, 2)
There are no other pieces between the Rook and the King, 3) After the move, neither the King nor the Rook can be in a
position where they can be captured, 4) The King canNOT be in check.
There are two kinds of Chess Castling: Kingside Castling and Queenside Castling.
Kingside Castling: In Kingside Castling, there are two spaces between the Rook and the King.
First you move the Rook next to the King, and then you move the King over to the other side of the Rook.
When you are done, the King will be one square away from the corner, and the Rook will be two squares
away from the corner.
Queenside Castling: In Queenside Castling, there are three spaces between the Rook and the King. First you
move the Rook next to the King, and then you move the King over to the other side of the Rook. When you are done,
the King will be two squares away from the corner, and the Rook will be three squares away from the corner.
