I started playing chess at school, and was taught by a fabulous teacher ( Mr Broadbent ) I am now 60 years old, and I guess my teacher isn't with us anymore. But I thank him so much for teaching me this fabulous game. I got as high as playing for Manchester ( on the school chess team ) and our number one player a girl called Valerie Whitehouse. I could never beat her , she was fantastic at chess. What a beautiful game. The youngsters in primary school now Should be taught the fabulous game.
This is so sweet haha, but try to not state the full names of you the people you want to talk about in the public internet, though no one is going to trace it back to the actual person, just stating First names or Last names help prevent a potential doxing.
@@why_tho_well done guys you spoiled this little charming anecdote. He does not need any of your stupid advices, you guys need to learn to appreciate a nice story and move on.
In my playing experience I'd say in some certain cases i don't think castling is always good cause your king can get trapped in the corner with a series of combinations by the opponent specially if his/her rook, bishop, specially the queen are still in the game. In most games castling is not really mandatory to allow enough space for your king to move freely and avoid capture. I have had several games where often i find my king trapped and mated in the corner after i have castled.
If you keep your king in the center, you may have more space to run around, but the trade-off is that your opponent has more lines of attack toward your king. If they just coordinate their pieces to target your king, you'll likely have a bad time. Yes, a lot of mates happen in the corners of the board, but that's just because a lot of kings go to those corners in the first place. You don't *always* want to castle, of course, but most of the time, it's probably a good idea.
A newbie question: I've played 2 matches against my cousin and in both of them he swap the King and the Queen (they were beside each other) to each others squares, is that a legal move or was he cheating?
I have been playing chess for a month and I always had the question if I am able to castle in case one of my pawns has already moved forward or been captured but without the rook or the king having moved.
@@MissMcFluffyStuff yeah I did that move when playing with my mom and she got mad and yelled at me saying that I was cheating and wouldn't play anymore. But I didn't know the name of the move at the time so I couldn't show her this video.
Looking at a chess position, we assume that it was reached from the starting position. No rook starts on c8, so that rook must have moved to get there.
En pass is when your first pawn move is 2 squares up, the opponent can take out that pawn if it's beside you - as if u had only moved up once & this counter move can only be done IMMEDIATELY after your double squared move. Gives them A one time fair shot at taking out the double square moved pawn
I never knew about this! Question: can you start a game castled? Like with the king all the way in the corner? I just learned about this move as an opponent started the game off with this! Did they cheat?
I've played many games of chess... and I never knew you couldn't castle through a check. I knew you couldn't castle out of check... but I didn't know your king couldn't pass through a check. I wonder how many times this has happened in games I've participated in. 😅
what is the right and more appropriate exact term to be used if your pieces is in the actual process of castling. Is it castling? or say castle. as in the case of a chess blogger who is actually analyzing a chess game. When the turn of the white to move for example to castle his pieces. Shall he say castle? or castling. I think the more appropriate one is castling not castle . The google also said that the act of these king and rook moving behind each other is called castling. castle more particularly pertains to future act of castling or the castle or rook itself.
castle is a noun and castling is an adjective it is the only word used to explain as a move in chess. It consists of moving the king two squares toward a rook on the same rank.. you should not say to castle on queenside or kingside or now its your turn to castle. Exact and appropriate word when we are talking about chess is quenside castling or kingside castling. or now its your to castling.. All kinds of dictionaries including the google are speaking of the same acceptable castling term not the castle one.
"castle" is a verb, and "castling" is a gerund, which is a verb form that functions as a noun. If you are referring to the tower-shaped piece, the appropriate term for that is "rook". I looked at some dictionaries, and they all seem to agree: "castle" means "move a king two squares toward a rook and move the rook to the square the king crossed" or some equivalent definition, and "castling" means "the act of moving a king two squares toward a rook and moving the rook to the square the king crossed". I saw "castling" and "castled" as alternate forms of "castle"; each form has its own way of being used.
Whoever came up with this rule told other people about it, those people decided that they liked it, they told even more people about it, and the rest is history.

@Five Gates Yeah, I participated in it, and made it into the semifinals. My friend Bennett won in the most surprising way. He first had to go against me, and he beat me by using his knight. The embarrassing part is that I didn't even process that it was a knight, and moved my rook instead of my king. Then he had to go against Andy (aka the smart kid who is great at chess). He won. It made no sense. So, everyone had to pay him a dollar because he won, but so far only I paid him. The strange thing is that he only played for a month before joining.
If you are in check for example by the queen vertically, and none of the other squares are being attacked if you were to castle, then castling should be legal in terms of getting out of check and the fact that it isn’t or that there is no logical explanation as to why you can’t do this is dumb.
chess is a classic game and the rules were made to dictate a classic battleground. there is logic to this rule but that information is so old by now that it has become lost in translation
Since the rook on “h” file is closer than the rook on “a” file, one option moves the rook further than the other. The king moves by two squares in both cases.
I have no clue why I can’t learn this my son was so good. He died and I have been so trying to learn. I just keep losing.maybe my head not right. But so frustrating why I am not understanding
I am very sorry for your loss. Perhaps it would help your learning if you watched some chess videos made by someone such as ChessNetwork. Looking at sample chess games is a good way to get a feel for the rules.

1:47 That only applies to an automatic castle. When the King was at f2, white could simply do Rf1, and then Kg1 on the next move to castle manually.
But you aren't moving two pieces at once so it doesn't count
Artifical castling
@@ytsamdenyel7929 "castling lite"
Not according to Prudick's Law of castling. In Aronian text, C5-X thenetics dictates reversing the D25 maneuver.

I've been playing chess a long time, and I never bothered to learn this move lol.. but my opponents always use it... maybe I will start as well now
It's a brutal move. I use it a lot. Really changes the board
Ive always been confused on ing i thought it was 2 moves but thanks for helping me
what are other unusual chess moves?
so far i know this and un passant
@@yahz137 Sounds interesting, what does that move entail?
Promotion (pawn) is another special move
Castling my daddy lol
Well explained, thank you!
The queen’s gambit...
Yeah... thats why im here.
yup i watched it and now i’m addicted to chess lmao
you got it bro...you completely got it
its almost as if chess was around 1500 years before queens gambit came out

I love when people castle. It's honestly the only chance I have to win without flagging.

You can castle but your king's now weak
Yes you can but there must not be a check
Thank you. Much love from South Africa.
Nicely explained

Looking at a chess position, we assume that it was reached from the starting position. No rook starts on c8, so that rook must have moved to get there.
I've just recently got into chess and this completely changes the game for me. I thought it was called en pass but I guess that's something else.

So helpful, thanks!
i had no idea you could castle in both directions
I never knew about this! Question: can you start a game castled? Like with the king all the way in the corner? I just learned about this move as an opponent started the game off with this! Did they cheat?
i dont think so. you would have to move pieces before hand. at least your bishop & rook.

Hey, ano po name nung author?
thanks
Thank you for the details just started play and the Ai always switch king and castle so it's irritating when I try I can't
I... I have played 16 YEARS without knowing I can castle with a rook which is under attack.
The Castling Rule™️ amazes me.
It’s a relatively new rule. Who decided this rule change? And how did they get the entire world to go along with it?
Whoever came up with this rule told other people about it, those people decided that they liked it, they told even more people about it, and the rest is history.

I didn't know u could castle to the long side rook!
I some how knew about this before i knew about openings
Yes, lots of people know the rules of chess before they know about openings.
I never use this move; it probably explains why I'm an "Average" player. 😂😅😁😆🤣‼️
From this point on, I'll definitely incorporate castling!
I'm hosting a chess tournament in my class, and I'm not sure if I should allow castling or not. Any ideas?

why is the rook aloud to go over the king i thought the knight was the only one who can do that
THANKS !!!
I didn’t know you couldn’t castle when you’ve moved your king, huh as an international master you could learn basics everyday
Bro there is absolutely zero chance that you are an international master if you didn't know that rule about castling.
Can we castle after dealing with check ..rook and king unmoved?
Absolutely, just make sure you're not castling through a possible check. That rule is new to me :) 57 second mark of the video.
If you are in check for example by the queen vertically, and none of the other squares are being attacked if you were to castle, then castling should be legal in terms of getting out of check and the fact that it isn’t or that there is no logical explanation as to why you can’t do this is dumb.
chess is a classic game and the rules were made to dictate a classic battleground. there is logic to this rule but that information is so old by now that it has become lost in translation
There rlly isn’t a logical explanation. It’s just a game rule
I mean, if the purpose of castling is for your king to be safe, why make castling out of check an illegal move
Hi .. Castliing is a move or after do castling we can move other move ?
How many pieces do you wanna move in one turn, lmao
Castling is one move and ends your turn
How to castle in your game
When i heard this rule i thought why anyone want to do that it doesnt look stronger😅
Only once we can do it
The last rule of Castling is quite saddening.
Короткая рокировка-little castling
Длинная рокировка-big castling?
Ok but WHY should you castle?
It literally explains at the beginning of the video.
"It was invented to speed up the game and do two things at once."
@@drewskyyy but why should you speed up the game?
@@ChicagoDefense because that's what they say. It's either build up a defense with the king or much easier to move with the rook.
@@drewskyyy ok thanks
ok cool but what key do i click cause dragging aint working
It’s supposed to work with dragging the king 2 squares. If it’s not working, it might be one of the castling rules weren’t met or smth
I've always thought you move the king over three squares when castling queenside. 😲
He did move 3 squares on queen side. That's why the point system was 0-0-0
@@againstallodds6407The *rook* is the one that moves three squares. The king only moves two squares.
I'm here because I just gave my opponent a free checkmate. Because I didn't know how castling works.
Castling may be long and short? I ask for translating.
Since the rook on “h” file is closer than the rook on “a” file, one option moves the rook further than the other. The king moves by two squares in both cases.
I'm tryna Castle with this but it's not letting Me!!!
I also know this I am just making my dad learn chess
I thought the king could only move one space?
yes but castling is an exception

How do I do it on mobile
Drag the king 2 squares
I thought it was a glitch
What does 0-0 and 0-0-0 mean
O-0 is castleing on kings side (rook moves two places. 0-0-0is castleing on queens side (rook moves 3 spaces)
