==Examples== ===Korchnoi vs. Karpov=== [[Viktor Korchnoi]], in his [[World Chess Championship 1975#1974 Candidates tournament|1974 Candidates final]] match with [[Anatoly Karpov]], asked the [[Arbiter (chess)|arbiter]] if castling was legal when the castling rook was under attack.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1067831 |title=Korchnoi vs. Karpov, Moscow 1974 |website=[[Chessgames.com]] }}</ref> The arbiter answered in the affirmative, Korchnoi executed the move, and Karpov resigned shortly after.<ref>{{cite web|title=Castling Confuses Even Grandmasters|date=16 July 1995|author=Larry Evans|author-link=Larry Evans (chess grandmaster)|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1995-07-16/entertainment/9507110283_1_rook-anatoly-karpov-castle|publisher=Sun Sentinel|access-date=2015-10-21|archive-date=2015-10-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151015211135/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1995-07-16/entertainment/9507110283_1_rook-anatoly-karpov-castle|url-status=dead}}</ref> <!-- This incident is said to be referenced in Korchnoi's ''Chess is My Life'' --> ===Heidenfeld vs. Kerins=== Castling occurred three times in the game [[Wolfgang Heidenfeld]]–[[Nick Kerins]], Dublin 1973. The third instance of castling, the second one by White, was illegal, as the white king had already moved.

Averbakh's colleague [[Vladimir Bagirov]] then explained the castling rules to him in Russian, and the game continued.<ref>[[Cecil Purdy]], [https://www.chesshistory.com/winter/winter137.html#9621._Purdy_on_teaching_ "Doesn't Know the Moves!"], ''Chess World'', October 1960, p, 198, reproduced by [[Edward Winter (chess historian)|Edward Winter]], ''Chess Notes'' 9622</ref><ref>{{harvcol|Evans|1970|pp=38–39}}</ref><ref>{{harvcol|Lombardy|Daniels|1975|p=188}}</ref> {{clear}} ===Edward Lasker vs. Thomas=== {{Chess diagram | tright |Ed.
