Castling is a special move in Chess. It is the only time you can move two pieces in one move and it is the only time you can move the king more than one square. The move involves the king and a rook (the piece shaped like a castle). It is both a defensive and an offensive move, because it gets the king out of harm's way and brings the rook, the second strongest piece after the queen, into play. Castling can also be the most complicated chess move, because there are four prerequisites. First, neither the king nor the rook with which you want to castle may have previously moved. (Obviously this means you can only castle once per game.) Second, all the squares between the king and the rook must be empty. Third, you are not permitted to castle in order to get your king out of check. However, if your king has been checked, but the check has been prevented without moving your king, you may still subsequently castle. Fourth, the king may not move into a square, or even through a square, that is currently under direct attack by one or more of your opponent's pieces. The move is accomplished by first moving the king two squares along the back row, in the direction of the rook, and then moving the rook to the square immediately on the other side of the king. Castling on the king's side of the board happens more frequently than on the queen's side. Castling on the queen's side is often more difficult. It also takes longer to accomplish, because you first have to move three pieces out of the way on the back row, as opposed to just two on the king's side. Furthermore, it is less defensive (but more offensive) to castle on the queen's side, because your king is not as well protected. Therefore, castling on the queen's side is much riskier. Castling is usually done during the first dozen moves, and can be accomplished on the king's side as early as the fourth move. Those who are new to the game should focus on castling on the king's side as soon as possible. Make it your number one priority. The rest of the moves can wait. You might want to check your local library to see if it has a book on learning how to play chess, because such books are usually full of diagrams and helpful hints.
