It's simply not possible to tell whether castling rights should be enabled or not without a move list. For example: [d] r1bqk2r/ppp2ppp/2np1n2/2b1p3/2B1P3/5N2/PPPP1PPP/RNBQK2R w kq - 0 6 Now, just looking at the position, it would like like there's no reason white can't castle. However, if you look at the pgn, it's obvious he shouldn't be allowed to: [Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Date "2004.03.08"] [Round "?"] [White "ChessicStudent"] [Black "ChessicStudent"] [Result "*"] [ICCResult "Game in progress"] [Opening "Bishop's opening: Classical variation"] [ECO "C23"] [NIC "IG.04"] [Time "09:07:17"] 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Kf1 Nf6 4. Ke1 Nc6 5. Nf3 d6 I hope this clarifies the situation, even if it's not what you wanted to hear. Andrew
