    Can't castle into, out of, or thru check.

    Lots of rules feel unfair. Taxing death, for example. Deal with it.

    It is interesting that a rule designed to aid in King safety can't be used in a situation of immediate need. But them's the rules.

    Same reason my you can't use the two space pawn move to avoid a pawn attacking the first square.

    Casting was allowed to speed up the game just as the two space initial pawn move was allowed.

    Why should I deal with it, it wasn't my game.

    Your opponent has to obey the same rule, so perhaps it's not so unfair.

    Good rule. Your king got stuck, deal with it. 😉
