To what does “castling” refer to and how may I execute such a thing?

Thank you.

And watch out for the tide. The best castles in the world were undone by pesky tides.

Did you know that the first castle was built in the small french town of Mendous in the year 705 by sir Frederick Rochdale?

You must move your King first, If you move your rook first you must move only your rook.

And if you move the small dog first you're actually playing Monopoly.

Castle because you want to, or castle because you must, but never castle because you can.

In some positions it's good to delay castling, keep your opponent guessing which way you're going to go.

Also, the King must not be under attack, or pass through or land on a square under attack for the castling to be legal. However, this does not apply to the Rook; the Rook can even be under attack and still participate in a castling.
