Learn about "castling" with the king

Castling is a special move that allows movement of both the king and rook. This is the only time that two pieces may be moved in a single turn. To castle, a king is first moved two spaces to the left or right of its original square. The rook that the king moves toward is then moved from its original space to a space adjacent to the king but on the opposite side. Castling is not allowed under the following conditions:

If either the king or the selected rook has been moved in the game. Both pieces must be in their original places on the board.

If there are pieces between the king and the rook. The space must be entirely open without any intervening pieces.

If the king is in check, or if castling would move the king through any spaces that would put it in check.Step 6
