What does castle means?

Castling is an optional chess move that involves one of a player's rooks and his king. In this move, the king is moved two squares toward the rook he intends to castle with, and the rook is placed on the square the king moved over to assume its final position. There are some restrictions, and they should be reviewed. Situations in which castling is not allowed: 1. If the king or the rook being used in castling has moved. 2. If the king is in check, would have castled through check, or would castle into check. 3. If there are any other pieces between them. Castling, the only legal move where two pieces move simultaneously, is notated as 0-0 if you are castling king side (the rook is only 3 spaces away) or as 0-0-0 if you are castling queen side (the rook is 4 spaces away).

Can you switch the king and rook in the game of chess?

The move referred to here is called castling, and the rook and king don't actually "trade places" as was suggested in the question. Castling is a maneuver that increases protection for the king and allows for development of the rook. Let's look at castling as see what really happens. Imagine a chess board with only the two rooks and the king in place on it. They're on their starting squares. To castle, the king is moved two squares toward the rook on the side on which the player wishes to castle. The rook on that side, the side toward which the king was moved, is now placed on the other or far side of the king. It's as if the rook "jumped over" the king to get to the other side and stand adjacent to the king. It works the same for either side, and the king is moved those two spaces toward the rook with which it is going to castle, and the rook "jumps" the king and ends up alongside it. Castling can be done to either side using this mechanism. But there are restrictions to castling. The first rule of castling is that neither the king or rook can have moved for castling to be legal. Also, all intervening pieces on the side to which a player wishes to castle must be out of the way; the space between the king and rook must be clear of all obstructions. Third, if the king is in check, castling is prohibited. It is not a legal move to castle to get out of check. Lastly, the king cannot across a square that is under attack. Certainly the king cannot move into check, but recall that the mechanism of castling begins with moving the king two squares toward the rook with which castling is desired. If that square that the king would move across is under attack by an opponent, castling is prohibited.

Can a castle in chess move diaginally?

The castle (properly called a rook) can only move in straight lines, vertically or horizontally. It can move any number of spaces in these directions. It can also participate in a move called "castling." This is when the king moves two squares sideways towards either rook, and the rook hops over it to the intermediate square. In no circumstances can a rook move diagonally.
