I fight with my king right in the middle like a man, I do not escape to corners for unmanly tactics.

Castling is for cowards.

Have you looked at your rating lately?? LOL!

Perhaps the 'cowards' have the right idea.

You should tell people about this in your profile.

"Castle is for cowards, when you play ME... please don't go run into a corner and hide. You face me in the center, or not at all."

That way, when users play YOU they will know you don't like any funny business.

I remember reading an expert's guide for beginners in chess: one of the maxims was never castle EVER!

With all the games you're playing mabe you don't remember that you castle all the time or maybe you're getting senile.

That's why I always try and actually capture the king.
Someday I'll get him.

As a show of support for GinoJ and his anti-castling philosophy, I will not castle in one of my curent games. Additionally, I will up the ante... I will not promote any pawns in aforementioned game either. Guaranteed.

There should be some extra "No Scaredy Rules" for RHP games.

No Castle
No En Passant
No Promotions

These rules are for weaklings. The only reason I ever do these things is because I know some coward I am playing is going to do it. They should be outlawed so all games are played on an even field.

Oh c'mon....like "passar battaglia" isn't wimpy? "En passant" only sounds meeker! AKA sly!
But castling....yeah, that's strictly for chumps.
Everyone knows for a fun game you need simply lock up the center real good and grind that enemy castle down.

You are right. I prefer "esploda nella battaglia" where all pawns in the area just explode if someone gets too jumpy.

You guys are making up rules as you go. Never heard such a thing called "en pasent". Qu'est-ce que c'est ?
