Reporting this even though I know you're not maintaining the site right now, TJ. See game 1656875. I had pieces that could move to the back rank between king and rooks on both the king and queen sides, but the software allowed my opponent to castle.

Are you absolutely certain your opponent would castle into or through check?

Yes. I had a rook covering one side and a bishop covering the other. He castled through the bishop's line into the back rank.

I saw this bug in a game once. There are several bugs in the chess code, e.g. as pertains to en passant, the draw by repetition, etc. Those who play chess here mostly are aware. There are no fixes planned. Best wishes.

I know there are no fixes planned. I just posted this to document the bug in case TJ ever decides to start maintaining the code again.

In this regard, is there a list of known bugs anywhere. I just discovered that the code apparently doesn't know about stalemate, but it *does* let you pass your turn.
