if anyone has an engine that plays 960 they can check if it will accept a white Castle now

Matthias will know for sure. Hopefully he'll come soon.
Steve is right.

7.Be2

... but let us delay the castle and consider king-side castling also.

Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Okay - I can tell you for sure! :D
The king and rook must end up on the same squares as they would in a normal game.
So we could castle with the king on c1 and rook on d1 (queenside) or the king on g1 and rook on f1 (kingside).
Well understood Sir Steve! :wink:
Actually i asked Ray to explain the castling rules during our game against Biglion
it was Rays clear and concise explanation that deserves the credit
i am just a good

7.Be2 for me
Astonishingly .if we move the B this move and the Q next move.. we can Castle clear across the board as Matthias suggested..
:shock:

0-0-0-0-0 Regards

I'll vote for 7.Be2 also, so with six votes for that move, I'll tell Ray that's our decision.
