Question about the no castling through check ru...

I know that players may not castle out of check, castle into check, or castle through check.

The castle through check rule is interesting. I'm fairly certain I once played a game on RHP in which the RHP java applet (or whatever it is that decides whether a move is legal) would not allow O-O-O because the rook had to pass through a square which was under attack. However, the king did not, and so the king itself was not moving through check.

However, I have just tried this in ChessMaster9000, and the move is allowed.

Which is correct? If this is a recognised fault in RHP, are there any plans to correct it?

Would be interesting if you could find the game.

Even if I could find the game, the move in question was not allowed and would not be in that game - if I recall correctly. However, I could set up a set piece game. Do I have a volunteer?

Game 1410718 - oh! Seems like it's OK...

That covers moving the rook through attack., what about when something is currently attacking the rook .. isn't that what the question was?

After current experience I'd expect Chessmaster to be capable of throwing up odd things (even if it actually isn't in the original post). I appear to have played e1=K in a game on it recently.

How is it possible that you all misunderstand the original post?

Cor!

The link to the game doesn't work . Is the game expired or something ?
