  1. Can a king castle after having been in check

        Can a player castle if his king was checked earlier in the game? (when the player was checked, he responded by placing another piece between his king and the opponents attacking piece; he did not move the king.) Put another way, does being checked automatically disqualify a player from castling later in the game? (Remember, the king has not moved,the opposing piece was simply blocked by another piece.)

    The player can still castle in this situation. The rules of chess state that castling is illegal, when the king or rook has moved earlier, and when in or through check. Having been in check which was removed by interposing another piece, or by taking (not with king or rook that is involved in the castling, of course) the checking piece does not prevent the player from castling later.


  2. If your king and and a rook has not moved or is not being checked, and there's so pieces in between, you can perform a castling as a move on your turn. The king moves 2 spaces towards the rook, and the rook moves towards the king and stops once he's 1 space on the other side of the king.

  3. its where the king mounts the queen and makes her his *****

  4. if your king hasn't moved neither has one of your rooks and i think if your in check then you can castle

  5. boy, you're getting into this chess thing, huh?  It's a great game that can be quite addictive.

  6. Download the official rules of chess for free from the international chess federation FIDE

  7. You can castle by moving the king two squares to the right or left as long as:

    1.  No pieces are between you and the rook.

    2.  You don't cross a square that could be checked if the king is there.

    3.  The king and castleing rook have not been moved.  

    You can not castle out of check.
