The king can 'castle' with the rook on either side. He moves two squares (if castling on his own side) or three (if castling to the queen's side), and the rook moves two squares to cover him.

What board game has a knight pawn and castle?
The board game in which players castle to protect their king and/or develop a rook is called Chess. To castle, the king and rook being castled can not have moved, the king may not be in check, there may not be a piece between the castling king and rook, and an opponent's piece may not be attacking the squares in which the king moves. To castle, the king moves two squares either towards the kingside rook or the queenside rook, and the rook is placed on the square the king passed through. Castling takes one chess turn.

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.

When a king is in check with a castle can a pawn take the castle if the castle has its other castle to back him up?
It really depends on what you're asking. When in check, the only legal moves are moves that would serve to get you out of check. If capturing the rook with your pawn would mean your king was no longer in check, then yes, the rook may be taken. If capturing the rook with your pawn would mean that your king would be in check by another piece, then no, the rook may not be taken.
