Originally posted by MossmanI was playing on another chess site then saw I had a move to make here thru email notification. So I quickly logged in and made the usual move for castling at the other site, which was moving the king and then the rook and clicking Move. You can imagine my horror when the RHP program moved my rook instead of castling! 😲
Thanks, who would have believed it was that simple
Cost me the game. :'(

Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveHe did move the king first. And then out of force of habit, he moved the rook as well. Of course, whenever you click anywhere else on the board, it immediately undoes your move. He didn't notice his king was back on its original square, and hit "move".
Well that'll learn you! One has to move the king first in any castling move.
