Can a castle in chess move diaginally?
The castle (properly called a rook) can only move in straight lines, vertically or horizontally. It can move any number of spaces in these directions. It can also participate in a move called "castling." This is when the king moves two squares sideways towards either rook, and the rook hops over it to the intermediate square. In no circumstances can a rook move diagonally.

This is allowed to be done in one turn. Before: rook/empty square/empty square/king after: empty square/king/rook/empty square

How do you castle on chess Titans?
Castling in chess is usually used to protect the king and/or begin the development of the rook. There are some restrictions. First, there can't be any pieces between the king and the rook. Second, you can't castle if you have already moved the king or the rook you want to castle with. Third, if the square beside the king and between the king and the rook is under attack, you cannot castle. (You'd be moving the king "across" an attacked square, which is not allowed.) Lastly, you cannot castle if your king is in check. (You cannot castle to get out of check.) To castle, first move the king two squares towards the rook on the side you wish to castle on. Then pick up the rook and put it on the square that king "passed over" when it was moved to castle.
How does a rook move in chess?
A rook is a piece which can move as many squares as are unimpeded by either an opponent's or the player's own pieces along a file or rank. Each player has two rooks which are placed at opposite ends of each player's nearest horizontal line, meaning rank. The rook may also "castle" with its own king. The castle move may not be made if there are pieces between the king and the rook; if any square beteen the rook and king is presently in check; or if the king has moved. If the king has moved, it loses the right to castle with either rook. If a rook has moved, the king may not castle with the moved rook. It may still castle with the unmoved rook as long as that is not prohibeted. In castling the king moves 2 squares to either the left or the right, depending on which rook it is castling with and the rook is placed on the square adjacent to the king on its other side. I like to think of it as a "hop, skip and a jump". The king hops one square then skips to the next square, then the rook hops over the king. Maybe this is where that phrase came from and I'm not so innovative as I thought. Remember to always castle early in order to protect the king and unite the rooks on the back rank. A king left where it starts out becomes a sitting duck for attacking pieces.The rook in chess (may be referred to as the castle) is a piece that can move horizontally and vertically any amount of spaces on a chess board but can not jump over pieces. The rook usually has no purpose in the beginning of the game since it blocked by so many pieces and usually makes it into the endgame. The rook is worth 5 points as well. The special ability of a rook though is "castling" which is when a there are no pieces between a king and a rook, the king will move two spaces toward the rook of choice and then the rook will move to the opposite side of the king. You have to make sure you have not moved the king yet, you are not in check, and you don't pass check.

What is chess castling?
Castling in chess is a special move where you move two pieces at once (your king and a rook). To castle the following conditions must be met: 1) the king and the rook have not been moved, 2) the king is not in check, 3) the king will not move through or end up in check, and 4) there are no pieces between the king and rook. To castle, move the king two squares toward the rook, then move the rook to the square on the other side of the king and adjacent to it like below: K _ _ R (before castling) _ R K _ (after castling) R _ _ _ K (before castling) _ _ K R _ (after castling)
