Note that a player may not castle in the following circumstances:
–
If there is any piece (of either colour) in between the king and the rook.
–
If the king, or the rook with which the player wants to castle, has moved before.
–
If the king is at present in check.
–
If the square over which the king must pass (or, of course, the square where the king would arrive) is under
attack from an enemy piece.
8.1.5 Stalemate
–
drawn game
If the player to move
cannot
make any legal move
and his king is not in check,
the game is a draw. This
is called stalemate.
Here, it is Black’s move. His king is not in check, but
any move he makes with it would put it in check.
Black therefore has no legal moves and is
stalemated
.
A draw may also be claimed if (a) exactly the same
position occurs three times, with the same player to
move; or (b) during a sequence of 50 moves for each
side, no capture is made and no pawn is advanced.
A draw may also come about simply by agreement
between the players.
