In this game shouldn't either player be able to castle now or even as the first move? the computer won't let me move the king yet. I use webTv ---not sure if that makes a difference.
Thanks

plume: You can´t castle right now. You need to move your bishop and your knight to do a h-castle (your king will be on b and your rook on f). And to do an a-castle, you need to move at least your rook that stays on d. Or... you have a castle already (king on c and rook on d) ;)

naughtypawn: Thanks naughtypawn. This is my first game of Fischer Random so I just wanted to try the castling to see where the King would end up. Good info in your post --- I am a beginner at Chess so I have alot to learn.
Thanks
