More accurately, the king can't castle after it has already moved- it is on d8. 😉

I suggest you take a little more time to evaluate the position.
I guess I have to be added to the dumb list, as ...Kc8 is all I see.

I've been going through my whole "chess problems bag of tricks" toolbox, and I am just missing the punchline. Unless that is the punchline, in which case I am most thoroughly and completely punched. 😵

No, don't feel bad, this is one of those Arabian Nights/Sherlock Holmes/Retrograde type puzzlers. The White Rook is actually a Black Bishop assassin who got to that square via e8 and will now check on g4. 🙄

I did a quick google of "chess tutor" and noticed these sponsored links:

some of you guys are hilarious, Swiss Gambit was obviously sarcastic, and the point of the thread was to show Chess tutor's uselessness. Or am I the one not detecting the sarcasm in some of the posts?
