No.
My question. Why we cant castling twice in this simple board game?
(In life, we can even marry twice in case something went wrong).
Why? Why?
It's a little known rule, but rather than moving one pawn two spaces, you can move two pawns one space each if you so desire. But only on the first move.

A kind of sharing moves. Sharing is caring.
Do you use two different hands or one hand? [or maybe your toes?] [i used to water ski using no hands or arms]

i think it's only a rule in certain countries. Officially it's not a rule.
No you can't move.

Of course, in OTB rated games you have to move the piece and hit the clock with the same hand. An old TV episode of Saved By The Bell had the character Screech playing for the city chess championship and both he and his opponent used two hands. The fictional show was located in Palisades, California - so apparently you can play chess with two hands there!

You're welcome to bring a friend and share me

Just to add that I had seen that move played in (unofficial) games between amateurs in Greece in the 90's.
It's not allowed. The double move rule allows the same pawn to move two spaces forward instead of just one space on its first move. It does not allow you to move two pawns instead of one. The only case when two pieces are moved in one turn is when castling, but that does not involve pawns.

It actually is allowed. You can play 1.e4, and then when you discover you've got 9 pawns on the board, you can move the extra one back to the box.

Never heard of this... But I guess you can adjust the rule to your mood and playing when you're playing casual games...
