White to move

Castling

Rules · Lesson 11 of 18

What it’s about

  1. When castling, the king moves two squares towards the rook. The rook moves beside the king towards the centre.
  2. Neither the king nor that rook may have moved before. All squares between them must be empty. The king cannot start in check, cross an attacked square or finish on one.
