Castling is only permissible if all of the following conditions hold:{{sfn|FIDE|2023|loc=article 3.8.2}} * The king and rook involved in castling must not have previously moved; * There must be no pieces between the king and the rook; * The king may not currently be under attack, nor may the king pass through or end up in a square that is under attack by an enemy piece (though the rook is permitted to be under attack and to pass over an attacked square); * The castling rook must be on the same rank as the king {{clear}} An unmoved king and an unmoved rook of the same color on the same rank are said to have ''castling rights''.{{sfn|FIDE|2023|loc=article 3.8.2.1}}
