THE FASCINATIONS OF CASTLING castling as a first or later problem move is legitimate if the idea otherwise is The most intriguing aspect of castling is the original and novel a nd if the onus is on displ·ol'ing.

Two pieces are moving - is it at once? Walter Korn Or does one move first? Some players perform an elegantly curved but silly-looking movement with Loth hands, King and Rook each in one hand. Others first make the long move with the Rook and then with the same hand move the King. The first mentioned "technique" may just pass, legally. But the other is definitely an incorrect sequence when broken down into its elements. The Rook move first completes a legal move; and, accord­ ing to strict touch·move rule, as soon as the player's hand qui ts the Rook, White to mate in two the opponent can cla im that the Rook move stand as a completed move, In this example, the key move has only an antithetical relation to our R-Ql or R-KBl, as the case may be. theme, castling.
