 Castling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castling is a special move in the game of chess involving the king and either rook.
Castling is an important goal in the early part of a game, because it serves two valuable purposes: it moves the king into a safer position away from the center of the board, and it moves the rook to a more active position in the center of the board.
Castling consists of moving the king two squares towards a rook, then moving the rook onto the square over which the king crossed.

Castling involves moving the king and either the queen's rook or the king's rook, depending upon the side one is castling on, and must meet the following criteria: First of all, neither the rook nor the king can have moved previously.

Of course, chess may have evolved from a game in India called chaturanga which was a four-handed game played with dice.
Chess as it is at present is probably satisfactory for the majority of casual players, who are unlikely to want a radically different game.
For example, chess and checkers are zero-sum two- person games with perfect knowledge whereas poker is zero-sum (what someone loses, somebody else must win) but normally involves more than two players and less than perfect knowledge (only some, and sometimes no, cards are revealed during betting).

 Chess rules
Castling is not allowed if the King and the Rook involved have moved, if there is any piece between the King and the Rook involved, if the King is attacked by opponent's piece and if the King cross or move on a square controlled by opponent's piece.
If it is impossible for you to move your King to any square, to place another piece between King and the attacker or to capture the attacking piece when your King is threatened with capture, this means that you are checkmated and you lose the game.

 The Chess Matrix Monthly: September 2004
Of necessity, in F.R. Chess the castling rule is somewhat modified and broadened to allow for the possibility of each player castling either on or into his or her left side or on or into his or her rightside of the board from all of these 960 starting positions.
When castling on a physical board with a human player, it is recommended that the king be moved outside the playing surface next to his final final position, the rook then be moved from its starting to ending position, and then the king be placed on his final square.
However, a few interpretations of standard chess games rules are needed for castling, because the standard rules presume initial locations of the rook and king that are often untrue in Fischer Random Chess games.

As a measure of immobility, I take the length of time pieces or pawns stay at their original squares - until they play, are captured, or the game is over.

 Kid Chess Academy: Kingside and queenside castling.
If you've castled once already, and just happen to get your king back to its original square later on in the game, don't think that you can castle again with the other rook that's still sitting on its own square on the other side of the board.
The first one we're going to look at is castling, and to do that, we're going to first set up the pieces in the initial starting position and look at a common opening move sequence.
This is the only time in the game a king gets to move more than one square at a time.
