Subject: Re: Naming of the sides for discussion or castling

At least for castling you could use the terms "castle long" or "castle short". Referring to the board is more clumsy since you don't have the traditional Queen-side and King-side referral points. I guess we could borrow military terminology and use right or left flank.
