What does it mean when a square turns pink? I'm trying to castle on the queen side and it won't let me submit. What up?

It means that the move you are trying to make is illegal.

For example, during a castling the king can't pass a threatened square.

Why does it bite? Rules are rules. The king would be under attack if it were to pass through that square, there are no teleporters in chess.

You might want to take some time and read the FAQ carefully, before you start another thread when one of your pawns vanishes into thin air. Seems there might be some rules you are not aware of.

I did read the FAQ. Am I not allowed to ask a question in the "help" forum? Are you in charge of keeping the threads down to a bare minimum?

I guess you didn't fully understand the FAQ section on castling. You can ask questions that are in the FAQ if you like, but people are going to point it out when these questions come up.

I also wasn't trying to be sarcastic, I wanted to be sure you understand en passant as well.

You also decided the rule bites, I was trying to explain the reasoning behind this perfectly fine rule.

The rule does bite because it ruins my whole strategy, the FAQ are not written well, and I will continue to ask whatever is on my mind.

If I have a question about how a knight moves, I'll ask in the help forum. If I want to know capital of montana, I'll post a thread about it.

The knight move is in the FAQ. Perhaps you should have someone read the FAQ to you, and explain it in a way you can understand.

Hope that helps.

Your strategy was ruined because it was a faulty strategy because it is based on your partial understanding of the rules of the game of chess.
