The greatest number of castlings in a single game, Tim tells >us, is three.

It is easy to break the record of castling 3 times by defining another game with similiar rules to chess when the target is to be the first side to castle 10 times when castling is allowed every time that it is allowed in a similiar position in chess when the pieces are in the same squares and other moves are legal when they are legal in chess.
