Please look at game http://www.redhotpawn.com/core/viewhistory.php?gameid=210498 game between me and David G. I'm not sure if that kind of castling is allowed in chess. I consider myself as new to the game, so please enlighten me.

I've looked at the game, and can see nothing wrong with the castling.
White castled queenside (o-o-o), which is the same manoeuvre as castling kingside (o-o). In both cases the king moves two squares toward the rook, and the rook jumps over.

I replayed the game as well [as David Tebb] - and yes the o-o-o is valid in this case: the king hadn't been moved, and also the castling did not go "through" check (even though the queen looks as if it in the way - the king doesn't go across b1).

Hope that helps.

David.

'Cause I've been preventing him to castle on both side, I just tought having my queen between his QR and King would prevent it. I'm not sure of it, that's why I asked. Thanks! 😏

It's proper in castling (either side) for the Rook to pass over an attacked square ...as long as the King doesn't....in this case 0-0-0 lands the king on a safe square without passing the line of your Queen.
