Hello,
I have not moved my king yet, I am not in check, my rook has not moved yet, no squares are being threatened. But, I can't castle!
I am new to this system. Is there a command that I don't know about? I try to move my king 2 squares toward my rook. When I click on my rook, it resets my king. What am I doing wrong?
I could not find a link or email address to support.
Thanks for any input.

Russ has been promising to fix this since Adam was a cowboy. I guess it's in the "too hard basket"?

...in an upcoming release (within the next 2 months) this problem has been solved.

I like it the way it is - move king and one click and you're done.
To castle just move the king. The rook will move automatically if the castle is valid.
They need to change the FAQ or the software to reflect the statement.

Originally posted by BowmannThe rook does not move until you hit the 'Move' button. That is not automatic.
What's confusing about it?
WHAT, I ask!
And I agree that it helps to be able to evaluate the position, with the pieces where they should be, before you click the 'Move' button.

on another site I'm on , when you move the king, it puts the rook on the other side of the king automatically.. then you click on the button to move/confirm your play. Its handy.. helps when looking at the play to see if its a stupid move , or if you are forgetting something.

2) That's what Analyse Board is for.
What a plonker!
