Vertical castling is not considered a legal move in chess tournaments, because the rook has to be “on the same rank” as the king to castle.
According to the former (FIDE) rules, castling was allowed when:
Neither the King nor the Rook have been moved
There is no other piece between the King and the Rook
The king does not pass through a square that is attacked by an enemy piece
The king is not in check before or after castling
So it was the Danish chess composer C. Staugaard who found a gap in these rules and published the following chess problem!

Announced a checkmate to a supercomputer by castling!! 😀 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-inVkC9Veo
nice
Puzzle:
1. e7 Kxf3
2. e8=R Kg2
3. Vertical O-O#
That is the latest update of the chess rules: vertical castling is banned.
So the chess rules, in fact, are still updated on modern days.
I guess I'm out of the loop. vertical castling, never heard of it ! ! !
1.- e7
2.- pxp e8=Q+
3.- Kd3 0-0-0#
2.-Kxp e8=R
3.- Kg2 Vertical castling#
I remember a story about a person promoting a pawn into a 2nd king. And the opponent was able to checkmate both kings simultaneously. 😂
See, I always would have considered “vertical castling” to violate the rule that the rook can’t have moved. The term “promotion” implies that the promoted piece is the same individual as the pawn, just with a different title and abilities. In this puzzle, while the rook hasn’t moved as a rook, it did move when it was a pawn. Because the newly-promoted rook has moved before (just not as a rook), it can’t castle.
Logically vertical castling happens but in chess puzzle black d5 pawn guarding e4 square so e file is blocked
and in video you showed e file is clear it is possible
I came across the one puzzle where white pawn promoted to black piece to checkmate and logically it can
Is that type of vertical castling an actual allowable move? I've been playing chess for almost 50 years and have never seen that or heard of it.
Puzzle: vertical castling fails if black moves pawn to d4. There is no mate in three.
they should totally allow vertical castling like this
I hope those rules never come into actual play. 🤓👍🏾♟
I hate this pov
Every new video.
New idea 🙂
I wish that it would be still allowed to castle vertically. It could add to chess problems some spice, and in practical games it anyway never would happen.
I thought everyone knew this rule. Notation: O-O-O-O-O-O
The chessboard and the chessmen look very nice.
Nice Video !
