castling. good or bad?

@Screener: Never move the same piece twice until you have finished developing all of your pieces without good reason.

@bobyyyy and AcivilizedGentleman: Thanks for the advice and illustration, respectively.

you can castle one time, then move your king all over the board "castling" but how can you, for example, make your king on e1 castle with the opponent's rook on h8?

hehe

Only premuim members are allowed to do this.

WAT

Someone said,"I like to leave my king in the center so it's already mobilized for the endgame."

What a perspective on King mobility and castling!!Why not just march the King to center for extreme mobility. 

Whether castling is good or bad depends on the position you are in and if you know what you are doing.For beginners who are new to chess,castling or King safety is always suggesgted considering K in the middle out in the open is as good as a sitting duck and an easy target.But,when playing with someone who is decent enough on the board,its completely subjective. Either way,a good player will always find ways to crash into your King's defenses.

LMAO!!!!!!!!I'm a premium member,I will try this ninja rook-king move today 

castling hustles your king to safety, while getting your rook out to help fight.

Castling as a general rule is a good thing.

You can't castle twice in a game! Do you mean manually?

I'm just showing how to do it.

Screener, I just looked at one of your games and I noticed some problems.

I suggest:

1. Make a better effort to not lose your pieces.

2. Never move the same piece twice until you have finished developing all of your pieces.

HEY I'm NEW TO CHESS, OK!!!

Ok, then you certainly don't need those silly hints ...

Good

time and occasion of castle is important.at some positions castle is not good move and opponent can attack to your king pawns and...checkmate.i learnt time of castle from kasparov,s games
