Duecer and I were playing chess. My rook was under attack so I went to castle.
Him, busy girl and Short circuit swore up and down I can not castle with a rook under attack or if my rook passes through a check.
I swear up and down I can, and after some google searches I still find no place where it says I can NOT castle when my rook passes through a check or into a check.
Well?

You are correct.
When you castle, the rook can be under attack at the time. It can move over squares that are under attack. It can end on a square that is currently under attack.
All of the above prohibitions apply only to the king.
The only rule for the rook is that it cannot have been moved prior to the castling move.
I'm sure the folks over in the "chess only" forum will confirm all of this. 🙂

I would feel smarter than at least three people in the room! 😀
You could pull out your old dog-eared copy of FIDE rules of chess and point them to 3.8.b (1), (2) for further support.

Originally posted by mwmillerAlmost, if the rook ends up on a square attacked by an opponent's piece, then the K had to pass through an attacked square. 😕

...And if The Three Muskateers had said you can't open with d5? Would you have still listened and still googled?.... I doubt it!!

Originally posted by PhlabibitI'm sorry to say, my good friend shorty, busygirl, a great lady, and deucer a super guy, were all wrong. The situation of the rook is NOT a consideration. The only stipulation regarding the rook is that it hasn't already moved.

OR...
Castling would have lost the game by a horrible blunder, and your good friends were trying to keep you out of trouble.
