Hi Stoney.
Can you please have a look a my game with Fritz # 38174. On move 17b, Fritz is allowed a move which I don't think would be normally legit. That is, castling across my bishop. Any comments?

Castling

Hi Chunga,

Hope you're OK. I think that move is legitimate as the king hasn't moved across a threatened square:

Thanks for clearing that up jayjay. I wasn't fussed about the move at all but had always thought that castling wasn't allowed if an apponents peice attacked any of the 8th rank. I'm embarrassed that after all these years I didn't know that.
All the best.
