In chess, the term "castle" refers to a special move involving the king and one of the rooks. There are two types of castling: kingside castling and queenside castling.
- Kingside castling- The kingside castling involves the king and the rook on the player's right-hand side. The king moves two squares toward the rook, and the rook moves to the square next to the king on the opposite side.
- Queenside castling- The queenside castling involves the king and the rook on the player's left-hand side. The king moves two squares toward the rook, and the rook moves to the square next to the king on the opposite side.
Rules for Castling:
- The king and the corresponding rook involved in castling must not have moved previously in the game.
- The squares between the king and the rook must be unoccupied.
- The king must not be in check, and no square that the king crosses or occupies during castling can be under attack.
- Castling is a strategic move that helps to connect the rooks, move the king to a safer position, and prepare for the endgame.
