Adding a little flavour to it... But man, this is old stuff - back in the 80:s we (besides the 0-0-0-0), also voted for the 0. This is a short castle where the King moves to "f" and rook to "e". Mainly thought as alternative if you wasn't sure to keep your King in the middle or in the corner + immediately gives rook pressure on the e-file. Sorry to say this went out of hand, since people began to vote also for some weird 0-0-0-0-0 stuff (this is the 0-0-0-0 + you move the king rook to "d" - getting 2 rooks active at the same time).
