Marfitalu: after the castle, the K will be on c8, the R on d8, but d8 is not free.

Subject: Ra5-a5

Another reason why this should not be allowed:
A "move" is not the action of a piece travelling, but the action of putting a piece on a free square (or occupied by opponent, but that doesn't apply here). Since a5 is occupied, the R can't move there

there are no edges. assume the king is on a safe side from the beginning, then a4/h4 is the center.
