  • Rule 4 : Pieces can't be between king and rook if you wanna castle
  • @rodrigomack13
    En passant moves both your pawn and the enemy's... out of the board
  • @nyxotic194
    there is actually another rule where they both have to be on the same rank, preventing a pawn promoting to a rook, then on the next move castling O-O-O-O-O-O
  • @I1Ido.
    Important tip: In-castling, king goes first, not the rook. If you move the rook first, you have to move it, you cannot castle. It's because of touch-move rule.
  • @landsgevaer
    Promotions also move two of ones own pieces at once: a pawn off the board, and a major piece onto the board.
  • @hello_collins
    My classmates said that this wasnt allowed ๐Ÿ’€
  • @Edenival.v0x
    also, the player must move the king first if he/she accidentally moved the rook first and then the king, it cannot be considered as a castle
  • @pgswiz
    Okay today hikaru knew this move by seeing this video very informative
  • @kindofagod7
    And there also cannot be any pieces obstructing it (this applies more to a long castle, where even the square that the king and took leave empty cannot have a piece on it)
  • @excancerpoik
    you forgot that both the rook and king must be on the same rank in some custom positions you could caslte vertically so they changed the rules so they have to be on the same rank
  • @aiden-6633
    Rule 4: You cannot castle if you already moved your king
  • @Poe-007
    Thanks bubba. Simple and straight to the point.
  • @ranickhaan
    Is there anything that dictates a short vs. long castle, or is it playerโ€™s preference?
  • @ucheobialor8769
    Thanks for making the explanation very simple to understand, with a good pacing tone. The ones I looked at will speak 500k words in one second
  • @8wacht260
    And your rook can not be under attack you forgot that
  • @blrd3277
    Is this reminder for GM Hakamura before Rapid and Blitz Championship 2023?
  • Not the only time. Bishops position can be exchanged and you can get to eliminate 2 pieces of your opponent if all 4 are lined up and your 2 bishop are on the 1st and 4th square and your opponents piece is on the 2nd and 3rd
