code of laws which governs the game.
TECHNICAL TERMS IN USE AMONG CHESS-PLAYERS.
_Castling._--Although, as a general rule, the move of the King is
restricted to one square at a time, he has the privilege, under certain
conditions, once in the game, of moving in conjunction with either of
the Rooks two squares. This peculiar movement is called _Castling_, and
is performed in the following manner:--If a player wishes to castle on
his King's side of the board, he moves the King to K. Kt's sq., and then
places the K's Rook on K. B's square. If he castles on the Queen's side,
he plays his King to Q. B's sq, and Q's Rook to Q's sq. The object of
this compound move is to place the royal Piece in safety, and at the
same time bring the Rook from the corner square into better play.
The conditions under which a player is permitted to castle are:--1st.
