Artificial castling: Course Module Format

Please read the background about the course concept, and then practice the concept using the 'Practice Resources' found at the end of this course module page


The Theory

When castling your king into safety manually, e.g. as black moving the rook to f8 and then playing Kf7-g8 - this is sometimes referred to as "Artificial castling". It is taking more moves to do what castling would have done automatically. But perhaps the opponent had just sacced a bishop on f7, and so the King was forced to do this artificially, but in the process the player won material.
