Unable to Castle?

Hello,

I'm wondering if there's some type of programming bug on my account? I've been able to castle forever (since I started my account). But suddenly in the last two weeks, no matter what I do, I'm unable to castle in any game I play. (yes I'm following the rules of castling ).

Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks for any insight!

If you're using click-move then you have to click the king and then the destination square to castle. Clicking the king and then the rook no longer works for standard chess.

No I don't have that problem but like @Martin_Stahl wrote maybe you are not doing it right.

Here's the new rule on how to castle on Chess.com: (I copied and pasted the following below from their 'Ask a Question' section.)

To castle, simply move the king two spaces to the left or right, OR 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!
