Castling in chess

   

Castling is a special move that involves both the king and the rook. It is the only time that a player can move to pieces on the same turn. Castling was invented during the 16th century as a way of making the game faster. But in order to use this technique the king and the rook must still be in their starting positions. Castling can only be done by each player once during the game. Castling is when the king and the rook move side by side.

Remember - the purpose to the game of chess is to trap your opponent into checkmate. To get checkmate use a snaking move that both attacks the enemy king and prevents your opponent from making a countermove to get away from attack. If you checkmate your opponent again is over and you have won because the king can not get out of check.

The king is the most important piece of the game. He must be guarded very carefully. Because if you're king is checked Mated then the game is over and you will have lost.

The king can move in any direction one square at a time. The king can also capture other pieces just like all the other pieces. You can not make them move that places you're king and check.
