6029. Castling with a phantom rook
From Mark Thornton (Cambridge, England):
‘In rook-odds games could the odds-giver castle with the “phantom rook”? For example, if White gave the odds of his queen’s rook, could he play Ke1-c1? And, if so, were the castling rules the same as if the rook were pres ...[text shortened]... e of giving odds was disappearing, without any formal resolution of the ‘phantom rook’ question.

I think that in order to settle this debate we must consult the letter of the rules.
From the RHP Help section:
"To castle, the king moves two square towards the rook, and rook moves to the other side of the king. This is all one move. You may only castle when :
* All the squares between your king and rook are unoccupied.
* The king has n d play without a rook, that you cannot castle on the side in which the rook is non-existent.

1- What the hell?
2- Do you monitor every single game on this site?
Originally posted by greenpawn34I was drunk for that fork, it was pretty funny.. I was getting dominated anyways, he deserved it. I think I made a losing move in another game that night too. No drunk moves from now on! You're exactly right though, I was hoping to get a draw because of that wrong color bishop and the 2-3. I would have done the same OTB, but maybe it was too early and should have found a way to trade a pawns first while he pushed his center pawns. When I looked at the game, my stupid chess engine didn't like that move, but he's always wrong. And thanks for embarassing me like that.. next time, show my brilliant 22nd move against Emlasker instead 😉
Of course I don't.

Not a bad idea that giving up the piece to catch the central pawns and
leave him 2-3 on the King-Side with the wrong Bishop.
The fact you realised the pawns were going to make his win easy makes
it good that you did something to unsettle him and make him work.
(weaker players would have waited till t had
too much faith the game and slipped in careless mode allowing the Bishop fork.
Close?

Go back in time to when the rules for castling and promotion were very simple...
"Castling is possible as long as the King and Rook have never moved..."
"You may promote your pawn to any piece, but it cannot remain a pawn or become a King."
Then, apply rules in the most smart-arse fashion to solve:
[fen]8/8/4Q3/8/8/5kp1/7p/4K3 w - - 0 1[/fen] ...[text shortened]... e in 1
Helpmate in 1 = Play a move for Black, then play a move for White that checkmates.

Hi Max.
"...next time, show my brilliant 22nd move against Emlasker instead."
Sorry but I only do losses. Anbody can win a game of chess.
It is the imaginative and brilliant ways you guys find to
lose that fascinate me.
White to play. from Game 3622829

Bla to report that Black not did play the boring 6...Qxf2 mate.
But 6...Ke7 and went onto lose.
