Castling

A special move involving the King and one Rook. It is the only move allowing the King to move 2 squares at a time.
There are certain limitations when it is not permitted:
- the King or the Rook in question have moved;
- the King is in check, or will pass through check;
- there is a piece of either colour between King and Rook.
