Subject: I need clarification with diagrams of these confusing Castling Rules....

After completing your first move of "double-move" castling In F.R. Chess, it is
quite possible and not at all illegal for your opponent to be in a position
where, were it your opponent's move, your opponent would be in stalemate, check,
or checkmate. Should after completing your first move of "double-move" castling
one of these three aforementioned situations exist you are to ignore it and make
your prescribed second move of "double-move" castling.

Exception: In F.R. Chess, when your first move of "double-move" castling, or at
least what could become your first move of "double-move" castling, also
constitutes a completely standard non-castling King or Rook move, the choice of
whether to proceed with your second move of "double-move" castling or to
consider your move as an already completed non-castling move is yours to make.
You signify your choice for the former by first making your second move of
"double-move" castling and then pushing the appropriate button on the chess
clock, you signify your choice for the latter simply by pushing the appropriate
button on the chess clock.
