In chess, castling may only be carried out when both the king and the involved rook have not been moved, all the squares between them are free and not dominated by any opposing piece and the king is not in check and would not be put in check by castling.

I don't like castling.

Source: tatoeba (9361456)

The king usually moves to any square next to his. But in chess there is a special move called castling, which can be done in two different ways, depending on the situation. In the first case, relating white, the king goes from e1 to g1 and the rook comes from h1 to f1. It's the short castling. In the second case, and still dealing with white, the king goes from e1 to c1 and the rook comes from a1 to d1. It's the long castling. This is the only time when two pieces are displaced in the same move.
