Re: Castling Loophole
Your opinion is irrelevant for this tread
Let me ask again -> Is vertical castling allowed under USCF
Chess960 mate in 2, with promoted rook on c8, followed by vertical castling.

Re: Castling Loophole
Vertical castling has been illegal under FIDE rules since 1972. So if the USCF plays by FIDE chess rules, then vertical castling is not allowed.
Source: https://www.fide.com/FIDE/handbook/LawsOfChess.pdf
Section 3.8 says specifically: "or by ‘castling’. This is a move of the king and either rook of the same colour along the player’s first rank, counting as a single move"
And the USCF has this: http://www.uschess.org/docs/forms/LetsPlay.pdf
"In castling, the player moves his King two squares to its left or right towards one of his Rooks."
So, no vertical castling. However, this might already be interpretation of the rules, not the rule itself. It would be interesting to see the actual "US Chess Rulebook" by the USCF, whether the FIDE amendement of 1972 is included or not. Unfortunately, that book is behind a paywall.
