Castle King

The Castle King button is only available if a castle is possible.
See rule below.

Click the Castle King button.
The screen below will pop up asking for an action.

The rules of Chess state that your king must be able to move through each cell in safety. Click one of the Castle buttons. If your King makes the journey safely your Castle will be completed.
After a successful castle click the Save button to complete your move. See note below.

Note:
A castle can not be undone after clicking the Save button. Clicking the Cancel button is your last chance to undo a castle.

About Castling
Each player may "castle" only once during a game and when conditions are met. Castling is a special move that lets a player move two pieces at once — the King and one Rook. In castling, the player moves the King two squares to its left or right toward a Rook. At the same time, the Rook involved goes to the square beside the King and toward the center of the board. In order to castle, neither the King nor the Rook involved may have moved before. Also, the King may not castle out of check, into check, or through check. Further, there may not be pieces of either color between the King and the Rook involved in castling.
