Castling

Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's Chess journey. Lesson 32 of 46.

Castling is the one move that moves two pieces. The king slides two squares toward a rook, and that rook hops to the square he crossed. Kingside is O-O, queenside O-O-O. It makes the king safer and brings the rook into play.
