When castling queenside, it is possible for your rook to move through a square that is attacked (b2 or b7), but since your king doesn't go across or land on that square, it's perfectly fine.

You cannot castle when it would leave your rook attacked. However, this is because it would mean your king had moved through check.

a rook can but not the king. I think the king cant pass an attacked square, but the rook can. Did'nt Korchnoi ask this question in a tourney a while back?

I guess he should have learned the rules first and then started playing. 😉

O why you gotta be like that. Don't take cheap shots against someone of his calibre.

I think that was an inside joke directed at Dr. Bowmann.

Absolutely no chance of there being any truth in that.

If he did he was joking; or else you are. 🙂

I recall an one time, some guy asking about that during OTB tournament play. However, i think he was an expert. I'm not to sure what his question was, but it was about the rules and it sounds familiar to this 0-0-0 rule.

This story is absolutely true - the details are in Korchnoi's book 'Chess is my Life'.

And in wikipedia (not that it's entirely trustworthy).

You are entirely correct sir! Please accept my sincere apologies Dr. Bowmann. That comment was completely out of line. 😳
