Castling
This is a special collaboration between your Rook and the King. In order to use this move - you must NOT have moved your rook or King from their original starting positions yet. (i.e. the rook in the corner of the board and the King in the middle). In your go - you move your king TWO squares towards the rook (as opposed to its usual one) and then the rook moves past the King to his other side for protection. In essence - they have swapped sides with each other (and thats right! this is the only move that requires TWO pieces to move!! a truly special move)
This move is usually good to use if your king is in danger in its current position and needs to get out quick. (remember - it can only be used if your King and Rook are in their original positions - - not if they've moved about the board)
PRACTICE: 1) play a full game. 2) Use a special type of random starting set up: the pawns are as normal but all the major pieces are put on the back row in random order! (the opponents army could either mirror your random set up - or you could both have your own random set ups) - - important to note you can not use castling in random set ups unless the rook and king are in their normal start positions.
