Subject: castle

I am attempting to castle in a game but it wont let me. I am not in check but my rook is in jeapordy, Is this not a valid move or is this is this a bug in the game?

what is the game number? None of the squares involved can be in check, you cannot currently be in check and neither your king nor the rook involved can move previously to your castle for it to be a legal move.

Vikings, I believe thats our game your refering too. The reason you can not castle is you would be moving you king across the path of my knight. You can't move your king through a check.

Kevin, Game#12303
Bluegill, I've never heard of that rule before, It seems to me that I've made that same move before on other sites. That is why I haven't moved yet. I wont wait too long.

Vikings: Yes, I've looked at the game and Bluegill is right. You cannot castle through a field being attacked [as her knight does]. It is specified in the rules, read them. If you could do such move on other sites, then the other sites are crappy because they don't follow the chess rules.
