No, it is not possible to castle with both rooks in a game of chess. Castling involves moving the king and one rook together, not both rooks.
Chess
The game is chess.
Chess was invented as a pass-time by Indian priests. It dates back to about 500 A.D. Chess was actually made to represent a battle. Rooks have the appearance of a tower, pawns look like soldiers, bishops look like the priests, knights look like horses and the king and queen look like royalty. And two opposing sides are fighting each other, trying to capture the king.
There are 4 rooks on the board at the start of a game of normal chess.
rooks, pawns, kings
In a game of chess, two rooks are generally considered to be better than a queen because they have more combined power and flexibility on the board. Rooks can work together to control more squares and are often more effective in the endgame.
