how do I castle on-line? I believe I am allowed, by rule, to castle if my rook is threatened, and my king does not cross any endangered spot. however, when I move the king over two, and then select the rook, the king move is reset.

please help.

You only have to move your king two spaces to its final resting place. The rook will move automatically.

The castling manoeuvre, if legal, will becompleted after you select 'move' and the page refreshes. you are only required to make the King move. The site will move the rook.Russ was going to revisit this in the Help pages?

Be careful when castleing. I moved the rook over two squares one time. A very stupid goof.
