This must be somekinda weird bug, unless I'm a COMPLETE MORON today.

Game 660291

I wish to castle queenside. The computer is under the impression that it is illegal to do so. Lets recap, shall we?

1. I haven't moved the king.
2. I haven't moved the QR, although I have moved the KR, I'm not trying to castle kingside. I'm trying to castle queenside.
3. I'm not in check.
4. No square through which my king must pass is under attack.

So why on EARTH won't it let me castle?

Obviously, since ongoing game, no substantive comments are solicited. But I'm not wrong here... I've gone over the history 3 times... something is WRONG.

Ummm, just a thought, but when establishing set-piece games it is possible to disable castling... is it not possible the person who established the set-piece made a boo-boo?

A quick scan of the other games in the first round of the relevant tournament reveals that many others are about to have a similar experience...

Just got a reply from Russ -- he's fixing it.
