What are the exact rules of Castling in chess?

Question

I know it somehow involves the king and rook trading places or something like that. Can anyone explain in a simple way? Thank you

Answer 1

the pieces that you are moving (king and rook) must not have been previously moved and the space between them must be cleared. the king will move only two spaces toward either rook and that rook will go right next to the king but on the opposite side.

Answer 2

I'm sure you understand where to place them by now.

King side castling- King goes To g1, and the rook goes to f1

Queenside castling- King goes to c1, and the rook goes to d1

and if you are black, all the 1's become 8's.

Anyway- You can not castle if the Rook on the side you are castling on has moved, OR if your king has moved.

Also- You can not castle if your king is In check, OR if your king would pass through check.

Answer 3

A lot of them!

1.It must be both the FIRST move of the King (it can be checked out before, but not moved) and Rook you are castling;

2.No pieces (both yours or your opponent) in the way (=squares) you will pass the King and Rook;

3.KING must be the first piece to be touched - if you move Rook firstly, THE MOVE WILL BE COMPLETED JUST YOU PUT IT IN THE SQUARE, then Castling will not be possible;

4.KING is not allowed to cross a dominated square: in a empty board, for instance, put your King in the square "e1" and a Rook in the square "h1", then a Black Rook in the square "f8"; at this moment, castling is not allowed, as the Black Rook dominates square "f1", where White King would pass; now take another position: White Rook in "a1" and King in "e1", as in the first example, then a Black Bishop in "h7": castling is possible, as the King does not cross a dominated square just like "b1", where Rook will pass through;

5.You can not castle if you are under check, not be checked if you castle.

Answer 4

In castling, there are three conditions under which you may castle:

     1. Neither the king nor the rook have moved.

     2. The squares between the king and rook must be clear of all pieces.

     3. You cannot be in check when you castle.

     4. You cannot castle through check when you castle. What this means is that the square the king passes over must not be attacked by any enemy pieces.

     5. Obviously, you cannot castle into check.

During castling, you move the king two spaces toward the rook, and then place the rook on the other side of the king. Castling with the king's rook, kingside castling, is notated O-O, and castling with the queen's rook, queenside castling, is notated O-O-O.

Answer 6

The King moves 2 spaces toward the rook and the rook moves 2 (3 on Queenside) toward where the King stood.

It must be the first move for either piece, and there can be no pieces standing between them.

That is Castling
