Castling when the rooke was under the fire

I have always known that according to the chess rules the castling is impossible when the king or rooke is under the fire. But look at this?!
Game 7400405 and move 21.
Are the rules changed?

It's amazing that you are 1600 and you have this wrong.
The King cannot castle if it is being attacked. There is no rule saying you can't castle if your Rook is attacked.

I also read a guy who was 1600 and he didn't know about En Passant!
I must really suck if average everyday people who don't even know the rules are better than me.

Korchnoi didn't know this rule either.

LoL ya I remember that. I think he was just having a brain fart.

I'm pretty sure in the en passant thread it was mentioned that a GM needed clarification on the legality of castling while the rook is attacked.

There is also Kindermann - Korchnoi, Ptuj, 1995.

Black to play



Black played 26...0-0 and the game was later drawn 20 odd moves later.

However when you play over the game....Keep your eye on the Black h8 Rook...😕

Nothing unusual castlewise about that game, if you move the rook, you can't castle on that side but you can on the other side if that rook and the king hasn't moved, and not going out of, into, or through check of the king but that rook could have come under attack and still castle, but he moved both rooks so no castle.

FIDE rule 34c:

Castling may still take place if the Rook used has not moved too much.

Korchnoi may not have been bewildered even if he asked the arbiter if castling was legal and even if he said he didn`t know when later asked.

Simply asking the arbiter if something is illegal doesn`t mean that one necessarily didn`t know.

Also if Korchnoi did say he didnt`t know after the fact doesn`t necessarily mean he didn`t know it merely means he said he didn`t know.
