Has anyone ever had a game where they castle to checkmate their opponent?
If not, what other things have you done with castling? (e.g. winning a queen, etc.)

I once tripled my zeros when I castled but I don`t think it added up to much.

Well, I tried to get this to work. I obviously am missing something.

Now you,re just showing off Heinz. LOL 😛 Did it not work because I didn't have the [FEN] in there?

As said, P.C. Morphy gave Queen's Rook odds. Didn't he miss 15. Ke2 Qd3+ 16. Kd1 by the way?

So does that require the FEN then in order for the PGN to work properly?

Without a FEN initial position, the PGN thingy will think the normal starting position is used
