  1. Castling may be long and short? I ask for translating.

  2. Короткая рокировка-little castling
    Длинная рокировка-big castling?

  3. I didn't know u could castle to the long side rook!

  4. I have no clue why I can’t learn this my son was so good. He died and I have been so trying to learn. I just keep losing.maybe my head not right. But so frustrating why I am not understanding

  5. The Castling Rule™️ amazes me.
    It’s a relatively new rule. Who decided this rule change? And how did they get the entire world to go along with it?

  6. You broke your own rules by moving your king through check…?

  7. I've played many games of chess… and I never knew you couldn't castle through a check. I knew you couldn't castle out of check… but I didn't know your king couldn't pass through a check. I wonder how many times this has happened in games I've participated in. 😅

  8. I have been playing chess for a month and I always had the question if I am able to castle in case one of my pawns has already moved forward or been captured but without the rook or the king having moved.

  9. Pinanood ko to dahil sa Chess Pieces ❤❤ wattpadpa

  10. A newbie question: I've played 2 matches against my cousin and in both of them he swap the King and the Queen (they were beside each other) to each others squares, is that a legal move or was he cheating?

  11. I knew the rules of Chess since my childhood but seeing this for the first time

  12. Ive always been confused on ing i thought it was 2 moves but thanks for helping me

  13. I also know this I am just making my dad learn chess

  14. what are other unusual chess moves?
    so far i know this and un passant

  15. I didn’t know you couldn’t castle when you’ve moved your king, huh as an international master you could learn basics everyday

  16. This usefull when playing with friend they never know that HAHHAHA

  17. 1:47 That only applies to an automatic castle. When the King was at f2, white could simply do Rf1, and then Kg1 on the next move to castle manually.

  18. i had no idea you could castle in both directions

  19. If you are in check for example by the queen vertically, and none of the other squares are being attacked if you were to castle, then castling should be legal in terms of getting out of check and the fact that it isn’t or that there is no logical explanation as to why you can’t do this is dumb.

  20. Chess club in 5th grade taught me this and oh boy don’t I love using it

  21. Hi .. Castliing is a move or after do castling we can move other move ?

  22. When i heard this rule i thought why anyone want to do that it doesnt look stronger😅

  23. In my playing experience I'd say in some certain cases i don't think castling is always good cause your king can get trapped in the corner with a series of combinations by the opponent specially if his/her rook, bishop, specially the queen are still in the game. In most games castling is not really mandatory to allow enough space for your king to move freely and avoid capture. I have had several games where often i find my king trapped and mated in the corner after i have castled.

  24. I'm here because I just gave my opponent a free checkmate. Because I didn't know how castling works.

  25. ok cool but what key do i click cause dragging aint working

  26. I some how knew about this before i knew about openings

  27. I started playing chess at school, and was taught by a fabulous teacher ( Mr Broadbent ) I am now 60 years old, and I guess my teacher isn't with us anymore. But I thank him so much for teaching me this fabulous game. I got as high as playing for Manchester ( on the school chess team ) and our number one player a girl called Valerie Whitehouse. I could never beat her , she was fantastic at chess.
    What a beautiful game. The youngsters in primary school now
    Should be taught the fabulous game.

  28. I've been playing chess a long time, and I never bothered to learn this move lol.. but my opponents always use it… maybe I will start as well now

  29. I never knew about this move until I saw Andrew Tate do it.

  30. I've always thought you move the king over three squares when castling queenside. 😲
