Rules of Chess: Castling FAQ. Frequent asked questions about castling.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Hi, either rook, queenside or kingside, in both cases, this is how it's done. I quote from the rules above, from the first question on this page. 'Castling is a special type of chess move. When castling, you simultaneously move your king, and one of your rooks. The king moves two squares towards a rook, and that rook moves to the square at the other side of the king. For more details, see the rules of chess, or the answers to the questions below.' One can only castle when there are no pieces in between king and rook, if neither the king nor the rook with which it is castling has moved before, one can't castle the king through check and the king can't castle into check - because the king can never put himself into check. That would be unkingly.
