It depends on your understanding of 'different'. Looking at the final positions of involved King and Rook there are only the two well known standard positions after c-castling and g-castling. Looking at the starting positions of involved King and Rook, there are 21 initial placements for each of both sides, giving a sum of 42, the well known answer for the last question of mankind. Example: right side placements: 01 .KR.... 02 .K.R.... 03 .K..R... 04 .K...R.. 05 .K....R. 06 .K.....R 07 ..KR.... 08 ..K.R... 09 ..K..R.. 10 ..K...R. 11 ..K....R 12 ...KR... 13 ...K.R.. 14 ...K..R. 15 ...K...R 16 ....KR.. 17 ....K.R. 18 ....K..R 19 .....KR. 20 .....K.R 21 ......KR Reinhard.
