can capture an opponent piece by taking its place.
It
cannot jump over any piece but its special weapon is the castling.
They are
placed right at the bottom corners of the chess board (h8, h1 and a8 a1) using
this special movement it’s the only which allows to move 2 pieces at the same
time, only once in the game and if the rook or king has not been moved before.
There can be two ways
the king side castling or the queen side. (Here you are the diagrams):
