It's a special king move. Just move the king to the place he should go after the castling, and the rook will move automatically.

move the king over two spaces as you would otb

It will pull the rook after you submit...

If you ever make an illegal move it will show you in red...

I never move the rook first otb but I assume if you did that here you would have an illegal move... don't know

In tournament chess you must touch the king first when castling otherwise you risk your opponent forcing you to make a Rook move due to touch move.

And moving your rook to the square it would end up on after castling wouldn't be an illegal move in any situation where castling was legal.

yeah you are right... sorry

I always move the king first because of the touch move rule as a habit.

That's how it worked earlier. Now the rook will be moved immediately, before you submit the move.

well it will animate that, but it may still be an illegal castle.
