		Castling is a special move which the king has using one of his rooks.
		When castling, the king is moved 2 spaces on the back row, towards the outside of the board and the rook on that side is placed on the inboard side of the king.
		Notice that the resulting position is slightly different depending on whether the king castles kingside (0-0) or queenside (0-0-0).

	Chess -- Castling
		Castling is a move that you should not overlook when playing chess.
		The downside of castling is that if you attempt to move your rook out for an attack and you have not yet moved any of the three pawns in front of your kind, he can be trapped into a back row checkmate.
		If, after castling, you find that you need to move your protective rook, then it is a good idea to move the pawn that is closest to the edge of the board up one space.

		Since the king is so important and his safety is of prime strategical consideration, the rules of chess allow castling, which puts the king in a position of great safety.
		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.

	Mark Lowery's Exciting World of Chess: The Castle Move or Castling - Tutorial
		Castling cannot be done until at least one pawn advance has occurred and there has been development of two of a player's pieces for a Kingside castle (Bishop and Knight on the Kingside) and three pieces for a Queenside castle (Queen, plus Bishop and Knight on the Queenside).
		Castling frees up the Rook used in the castling toward the center of the chessboard for activity in open files and to be used to provide protection for the player's central pawns.
		Castling usually should be done no later than when the opposing player has developed pieces which may attack the King through the center files (d and e files, also called the King and Queen files).

		Castling, as in Orthodox chess, is an exceptional move involving both the King and Rook.
		All squares between the castling King's initial and final squares (including the final square), and all of the squares between the castling Rook's initial and final squares (including the final square), must be vacant except for the King and Rook.
		In brief, the idea is that the second player to castle should be given a broader choice of king destination squares if-but-only-if he castles to the wing opposite of the wing the first player already castled to.

		Of necessity, in Fischer Random 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 right side of the board from all of these 960 starting positions.

		After all, the castling rules came along well after the game was established, and the codification of castling was solidified (with some resistance from the Italian Masters up into the late 1800s) only at the end of the 19th century.

	Chess Guide > Fisher Random Chess
		Fischer Random Chess (also called Chess 960, Fischerandom chess, FR chess, or FullChess) is a chess variant created by Grandmaster Bobby Fischer (who was world chess champion from 1972 until 1975).
		Fischer's goal was to create a chess variant in which chess creativity and talent would be more important than memorization and analysis of opening moves.
		If the initial position happens to be the standard chess initial position, these castling rules have exactly the same effect as the standard chess castling rules.

	Castling
		In castling, the path has to be clear between the King and the Rook and the move is initiated by moving the King (first!) over two squares and is completed by bringing the Rook around to the King's other side.
		For example, in Diagram #3, the fl King cannot castle Kingside because he would have to cross the diagonal of the white Bishop on a3.
		For the white King, he can't castle on the Queenside because (1) his Queen's Rook has already moved and (2) the fl Rook on d8 is firing cannon shots down the d-file.

	Learn how to play chess - short castling
		It is called 'castling' and is a defensive move, used to increase the King's safety.
		The whole procedure is considered to be one single move, not two (we denote short castling by 'O-O').
		However, there are some constraints before one can castle: both the King and the Rook must have not moved before, all in-between squares must be empty and both landing squares (f1 and g1 in the example) must not be threatened by the enemy pieces.

		Long castling (denoted by 'O-O-O') is similar to short castling, the only difference being that the a-Rook is used instead.
		All the same applies for BLACK too, the corresponding squares being g8 and f8 for short castling and c8 and d8 for long castling.

	Discart-Bonetti Chess Match 1863 - Page1
		We must recall that Discart's chess career was well established when Morphy appeared, and Steinitz had only completed his first tournament when the Discart-Bonetti match was played.
		In that pre-computer era, the chess style and technique of those enthusiasts was, certainly, imperfect.
		Yet even in the present age of silicon super computers, we hold that the accomplishments of 19th century players ought to be appreciated, those masters who were not professionals, and that even now we can enjoy their genuine combinative talents.
