I have always known that according to the chess rules the castling is impossible when the king or rooke is under the fire. But look at this?!
Game 7400405 and move 21.
Are the rules changed?
In my experience only a very small minority of chess players know all the Laws of Chess correctly. You can look up the current Laws on the F.I.D.E website;

Move 21 in your game was legal, its only the King that can't move out of, through or into check. If you had not moved your Bishop on move 20 your opponent would not have been able to castle on the next move.
If you do try to make an illegal move the squares go pink and the move is blocked by the site.
Good luck with the game.
