redhotpawn just allowed a king-side castle after the king was previously in check. Isn't it true that castling can not occur if (1) the king or rook has previously moved, (2) if the king has previously been in check or (3) if castling will make the king cross trough check?

1 and 3 are true.

As long as the king wasn't moved to get out of check, castling can still occurr.

That's ok, I didn't know that a king could not take a pawn enpassant until I tried it on FICS.

The third missing rule is that you cannot castle out of check. Hope this helps.

Sounds fictitious especially since I went through all your games looking for that scenario and there was no evidence of this.

He didn't say it was one of his games.

No he didn't. But its a moot point. The poster obviously does not fully understand the rules of Chess.

This may help him.

Castling is a special defensive maneuver. It is the only time in the game when more than one piece may be moved during a turn. This move was invented in the 1500s to help speed up the game and to help balance the offense and defense.

The castling move has some fairly rigid restrictions:

1.It can only occur if there are no pieces standing between the king and the rook.

2.Neither king nor the rook to be castled with may have moved from its original position. (The other rook may have already moved).

3.There can be no opposing piece that could possibly capture the king in his original square, the square he moves through or the square that he ends the turn.
