Originally posted by celticcountry Can a rook move through check when castling?
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.
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 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.
