Hi, I`m new here and have just started my first game. After a few moves, I find I am unable to castle. I`m not in check, I`ve never been in check and I haven`t moved either my king or my rook.
The game number is 863248.
I`d be grateful for some help.
Cheers,
David

I just move the king and the program takes care of the rest.

Yes,I looked the game and it is strange indeed.
I guess you're aware that you have to move the king two squares toward the rook to castle...............
I don't know what to say,maybe it's a bug.

In this case the only thing you can do is message Russ (site admin) and tell him of this bug.

You've clicked on the King, then clicked on the g8 square so it goes green, and then clicked move? The rook movement isn't shown until after that.

Other than that, I can't help u.

Yes, that was it. I was trying to move the king and then the rook. When I did as you suggested, it worked.
Many thanks.
