How to castle?


To castle, move the king two squares to the right for kingside castling and 2 squares to the left for queenside castling.

Castling is allowed under the following conditions:

            - all the squares between the king and the rook must be empty

            - neither the king nor the rook should have left their original position.

            - none of the three squares (starting square, passing squares, final square) should be controlled by an opponent's piece. (The rook then does not allow avoiding a failure)
