FORBIDDEN MOVE!!! Forced Fide to change the rule!

[@theolecoq5079]

It doesn't matter if the rook is attacked anyway. Only the king isn't allowed out of, through or into a check.

[@Just.Dad.Things]

Isn't the pawn on d5 attacking the e4, so there is an attack on the path of the castling?

[@ChessA-Z]

Yes, that was one of my thoughts as well, but FIDE didn’t consider that by then for some reason.

[@gm1590]

That doesnt apply to the rook, only the king.

[@tomsmit2251]

If b1 is covered by the opponent then you can still castle long

[@benjaminbritsch1749]

what was the notation?

[@ChessA-Z]

@@benjaminbritsch1749 most likely O-O-O-O-O lol

[@rogerkearns8094]

@@ChessA-Z O-O-O-O-O-O might be more consistent, with the rook moving six squares.

Problem chess is another discipline alltogether, now one could argue that the piece did move, it just got promoted thats all, its not another piece tecnically so that should of settled the debate without a need to change the rules
