hand. Movement of piece with 2 hands will result
to an illegal move

• When castling, a player should first move the


king with one hand and then move the rook with
the same hand

• If a player having the move touches a piece as if


having the intention of moving it, then the player
must move it if it can be legally moved.
• A player must claim a violation of the rule
immediately before making a move, or lose the
right to claim

How to castle
• there are two types of castling:
kingside (short castling) and
queenside (long castling)
• Move the king two spaces to the
left or right.
• Move the king on top of the rook
you want to castle with.
• The rook will jump across and to
the other side of the king
automatically.
Rules regarding castling
• The king and rook cannot have moved from their
starting squares.
• All spaces between the king and rook must be empty.
• The king cannot be in check.
• The squares that the king passes over must not be
under attack, nor the square where it lands on.
Basic structure of the

be ascending to semi-finals with strong rivals.
3. Once the individual wins semi-finals he/she
would be competing with a stronger opponent
in the finals.
