I think there is something currently wrong with the way this preset is handling castling. Here is an image from a test game in which I tried castling. White's position shows the files that the King and Rooks began in, and Black's shows the position after castling. Although this is a proper castling position for Queen-side castling, the King castled with the King-side Rook (whose usual position is actually filled by the Queen here). So, castling should have worked by the King moving to g8, and the Rook going to f8, which would have still been impossible with these spaces filled by the Knight and Bishop. I happened to be checking this out, because of another problem with this preset, which is that it does not display legal castling moves when displaying other legal moves.
Here, White has just done a proper Queen-side castle:
Here, I took back that move and tried King-side castling. The King and Rook ended up in the same position as for Queen-side castling.
It's also notable that in the position just before these two different moves, King-initiated castling did not work, and these castling moves were both initiated by moving the Rook to the King's space. So, I'll have to rework how castling works in this game.
