The standard rules of chess that I've read say the 50 move rule gets reset to 0 after "non-reversible moves" - pawn moves and captures. I've always wondered why castling is not included in that definition. I've seen some older engines (SCP) that actually treat castling as a resetting move, but the majority of engines do not. Anyone know the history of this?
