Wow.
I've been playing chess for 30 years. I have over 17,000 moves on this site. And I never knew that you couldn't castle if the King "moved through" a check position. Amazing.
Thanks for answering despite the condescending tone.
Some get confused and next believe the Rook can't castle through check... others don't realize you can't castle out of check... it's worth reading the whole rule.

Originally posted by KeplerYes, Korchnoi asked if his rook could move through check, but I think that lapse can be chalked off to extreme pressure and anxiety, he surely knew the rule. Just had a massive synapse malfunction.
