    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.

    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.

    If you keep your king in the center, you may have more space to run around, but the trade-off is that your opponent has more lines of attack toward your king. If they just coordinate their pieces to target your king, you'll likely have a bad time. Yes, a lot of mates happen in the corners of the board, but that's just because a lot of kings go to those corners in the first place. You don't *always* want to castle, of course, but most of the time, it's probably a good idea.

    what is the right and more appropriate exact term to be used if your pieces is in the actual process of castling. Is it castling? or say castle. as in the case of a chess blogger who is actually analyzing a chess game. When the turn of the white to move for example to castle his pieces. Shall he say castle? or castling. I think the more appropriate one is castling not castle . The google also said that the act of these king and rook moving behind each other is called castling. castle more particularly pertains to future act of castling or the castle or rook itself.

    En pass is when your first pawn move is 2 squares up, the opponent can take out that pawn if it's beside you - as if u had only moved up once & this counter move can only be done IMMEDIATELY after your double squared move. Gives them A one time fair shot at taking out the double square moved pawn

    castle is a noun and castling is an adjective it is the only word used to explain as a move in chess. It consists of moving the king two squares toward a rook on the same rank.. you should not say to castle on queenside or kingside or now its your turn to castle. Exact and appropriate word when we are talking about chess is quenside castling or kingside castling. or now its your to castling.. All kinds of dictionaries including the google are speaking of the same acceptable castling term not the castle one.

    "castle" is a verb, and "castling" is a gerund, which is a verb form that functions as a noun. If you are referring to the tower-shaped piece, the appropriate term for that is "rook". I looked at some dictionaries, and they all seem to agree: "castle" means "move a king two squares toward a rook and move the rook to the square the king crossed" or some equivalent definition, and "castling" means "the act of moving a king two squares toward a rook and moving the rook to the square the king crossed". I saw "castling" and "castled" as alternate forms of "castle"; each form has its own way of being used.

The embarrassing part is that I didn't even process that it was a knight, and moved my rook instead of my king. Then he had to go against Andy (aka the smart kid who is great at chess). He won. It made no sense. So, everyone had to pay him a dollar because he won, but so far only I paid him. The strange thing is that he only played for a month before joining.

    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.
