Dear Chess.com while playing a round I was put in check after all threats were eliminated and could then legally castle. I could not I was not in check nor was the place I was going to be in was in check whats the deal?

I just thought I would ask!

here is what Wiki thinks....but than this is your site so it is your rules. Wondering if this is intended by lokasoft. Can you help me?

Requirements

  1. The king must never have moved;
  2. The chosen rook must never have moved;
  3. There must be no pieces between the king and the chosen rook;
  4. The king must not currently be in check.
  5. The king must not pass through a square that is under attack by enemy pieces.
  6. The king must not end up in check (true of any legal move).
  7. The king and the chosen rook must be on the same rank.[2]

It is a common mistake to think that the requirements for castling are even more stringent than the above. To clarify:

  1. The king may have been in check previously, as long as it is not in check at the time of castling.
  2. The rook involved in castling may be under attack.
  3. The rook involved in castling may move over an attacked square (a situation possible only with queenside castling).

Was the square your king moves through under attack by a piece or pawn? That also prevents castling.

Thanks for replying. No sir none of the pieces were under attack nor where any of the spaces in which they were going to to be in were under attack. I thought it was a bug I'm going to see if I can recreate its conditions

I don't think it does - I've seen somewhere a diagram with a new rook (after a pawn promotion) which has never moved;  say it's on e8. So without rule 7, or something like it, you could try to 'castle' by moving your king to e3 and bringing the new rook to e2.

I figured it out it's just touchy java after being in checked by queen and blocked by bishop. Dumb...sorry . Thanks for the help anyway.

Yes (or as you would put it, YES) - rule 7. So rule 7 isn't redundant (or as you would put it, redundent).

how's this?

The king would move to e3 and the rook would move to e2.

Wait wouldn't the Rook still be the pawn? which has moved and Thus cannot be castled? This is intresting. or odd. Its not letting me do that in the diagram ...what about chess live.
