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.
