Hi there.
In this lecture, we can have a gentle introduction to counseling.
Now, here is a fictional situation where.
Say you have the white pieces, you can actually cancel your king, so castling is moving the king two
squares to either the left or the right.
So here say we cancel on the queen side and we call it the queen side because this side of the board
is where our queen is.
So we call this the queen side.
And here is where our king is and costing on the king's side as this side of the board.
So it's like we're sliced the sides of the board queen side, king's side so we can have the castle
on the queen side, all the king's side.
There are various rules for counseling, I'm afraid.
But once you know the rules, the magic of chess is worth it.
So we can in this fictional situation, castle queen side or we can Castle King side now say we Castle
Queen side.
Do you think the opponent's king can castle queen side, yes or no.
Think about that for a moment.
Do you think the opponents can king castle, queen side.
Is that a legal move?
OK, it's actually not because the king will be passing through check.
Look at that.
If the king tried to do that, it would be passing through check.
That's a no no.
You can't cancel fruitcake.
You can't cause on the side, though, and I'm going to show you a special.
Exception, which you might find intriguing in the next lecture about the counseling rules, but for
the moment, just bear in mind you can also Queensland in general or Kingside now say why we moved here
than Black would be able to counsel coincide.
There's nothing stopping that as a legal move or kingside.
So you either counsel Queensland side or Kingside, let's say you're playing with the black says.
So your insight here cause coincides relative to you playing with black pieces as this side of the boat.
So your queen side is here because it's your queen is there.
And that's kind of implies that's your queen side.
And here is your king side.
Generally, I would say generally people tend to counsel Kingside, there's less surface area of attack,
it's usually safe to counsel on the Kingside usually, but chances again very depends on the specific
situation on the board.
Now.
We're going to extend some of the rules for when you can't or can't counsel in the following lectures,
but I hope you've got the general just from this one about casting.
Generally, you can choose the consequent side.
Or Kingside.
OK, and so much.
