Hmmm...  I do like the idea of the Enhanced Castling presented here, but it
might be a bit too powerful.  How about a half-enhanced castling, in which
the King can go as far as desired, but the Rook must then always be placed
just on the other side?  That should be a little easier to program, and I
think I like the rule better, too...  I don't like giving the King a free
choice of any square, *and* letting the Rook pick the open file, all on the
same move.
