Castling
Castling is a special move in the
game of
chess involving the
king and either of the original
rooks of the same color. Castling consists of moving the king two squares towards a rook, then moving the rook onto the square over which the king crossed.The
notation for castling, in both the
descriptive and the
algebraic systems, is 0-0 with the
kingside rook and 0-0-0 with the
queenside rook. Castling on the kingside is sometimes called castling short and castling on the queenside is called castling long; the difference being based on whether the rook moves a short distance (two squares) or a long distance (three squares).
