you can castle queenside, O-O-O.  Move King two spaces same as regular castle.

bt my question is the queen if never moved can never jump over a rook that has previously not moved???!!!!!!!!>!Embarassed

The queen never participates in castling operations. Below is an example of both castling queenside (O-O-O) and castling kingside (O-O).

Q.  So how, using this platform would I initiate castling .  do i just drag my king and the rook will follow?????>?>Cool

yes , you drag the king and the rook will follow, but make sure you drag the king  2 spaces.

If you move the rook first it will be accepted as a rook move .

If you want we can start a game and you can fire your questions in the chat window ;-)
