Would be grateful if someone could have a look at my game
ID. 10998537. with The Dark Knight 777
Move 11. I moved my White Queen Qe3e2
Prior to making this move I tried repeatedly to Castle Kingside, but was unable to do so. Why? I had not moved either Rook or King and was not in check or putting myself in check. Anyone able to help?

But I was moving to the Right. So I was not passing through the B Q' check.
If I was castling to the Left I would have, and I could see that.

One thing to check - I'm sure you have - is that you were not on the game history screen instead of view main board. That screen looks very similar at first glance but doesn't allow moves.

It's strange that you couldn't castle, what kit were you using a PC or some kind of touch screen thing? Just a quick reality check - to castle kingside you have to click on the king to highlight it and then click on the g1 square and then press submit move - that is what you were doing?
No, I just tried to move the King as usual when castling.
Over 10 million games have been played on this site, it is beyond credibility that this is due to a bug - you should have had no problems castling in that position - my guess is you were using a phone or something like that and the problem is at your end and not the site's.

I really do know how to castle, but I think you may be right. (Sometimes my I pad will not allow me to go back a page)
Never had any problems using the laptop.

Any way, if this ever does happen again I will try the same move using my laptop.
My thanks to you all for coming to my aid.
