Subjekt: Re: Naming of the sides (discussion of castling)

Zmenené užívateľom SMIRF Engine (18. marca 2006, 08:44:08)

Thad: To use piece related expressions like Queen side or King side to characterize the castling side in variants is not helpful at all. Be aware, that a Queen might have been captured or moved before a castling could be done. If then the Queen originally had been placed not the traditional side, it is hard to explain, what should be the Queen side. Thus in random games like Chess960 or Capablanca Random Chess such expressions will be avoided. Thus it is better to use neutral expressions like alpha castling O-O-O (remember a triangle) and omega castling O-O.
