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.
