If the king castles queen-side the rook must move three squares. However on the king-side the rook only moves two squares. Strategy Note: Castling is a great aid in defensive strategy. It also has a tendency to bring a powerful rook into play when under normal circumstances it might be stuck behind a wall of pawns. How to move the king with the castle on chess titans? I am not sure what the move is called but in chess titans, the computer moves the king with the castle, how do i make the same move? I am new at this so any help would be a big help. To castle queenside, move your king two spaces left, toward the rook on that side, replacing the original position of the bishop on that side, which must be elsewhere. Castling is a king move. If you're playing with touch move you'll have to touch the king first or you'll have to make a rook move.
Learn to castle correctly. The Chess Castle moves the king to a safe place. Castle as fast as you can in your chess game or your king will get stuck in the center and will get attacked from all sides!
Castling in chess is only possible if:
Short Castling
You can castle. 1.Move the king TWO squares to the right. 2.Place the rook to the left hand side of the king. | Yes! Correct! |
You still can castle. 1.Move the king TWO squares to the right. 2.Place the rook to the left hand side of the king. | When the marked squares are hit by a piece you can’t castle! |
White castled correct. The TWO squares were NOT hit by the Bishop. | You can’t castle here! The black bishop hits ONE of the TWO castling squares! |
Long Castling
the same chess rule applies in long castling. The bishop does not hit one of the two castling squares. | White castled correct. |
Yes, you can castle long. | White castled correct. |
No, you CANNOT castle, the bishop hits one of the TWO castling squares. | No, you CANNOT castle. The rook hits one of the TWO castling squares. |
Yes, you CAN castle, the rook does NOT hit one of the TWO castling squares. | White castled correct. |
White castles long to bring his king to safety AND to develop his rook to the d-file. Castling here speeds up the development of white’s forces. | White will castle long to run an attack on the black king using his pawns on the kingside. White’s king will be safe on the queenside when his kingside pawns move forward. |
The long Chess Castle can be used to speed up the development of the rook on a1 and to prepare an attack on the other side of the board.
