  • 0-0-0+

    I just came across a game with the classic Rxb2 (or Rxb7) followed by 0-0-0+ winning the R. The annotator(s) in this game never saw it. Check the position at White's 20th move. (this annotated game was published in the Oct. 1991 issue of "En Passant". Johanne was Canada's rep in this event - Alexandre Lesiege was in the concurrent men's event). I think this type of position is as rare as quadrupled P's.

    Sorry, the black rook on b2 is protected by the bishop on f6

    Edit, sorry, you are right, if White had played 20.0-0-0 (instead of 21.0-0) he would have picked up the rook b2.

      With White to move on move 20, the R is still unprotected (Black hasn't played ...e4 yet). And the Fritz evaluation suddenly goes from +0.41 to +3.00.

        I wonder if both the White player and the annotator thought that 0-0-0 wasn't playable because the White Rook isn't allowed to cross over a square that is under attack by a Black piece (the Black Rook)?

        I actually thought this was the rule for Queenside castling, but looks like I was wr... I was wooo.... geez, I'm acting like Jean Hebert... I was WRONG.

            Many years ago I was the beneficiary of the RxNP 0-0-0+ oversight in a tournament game at classical time controls. Here are the moves:

            1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.Nf3 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6 5.Nc3 d5 6.cxd5 Nxd5 7.e4 Nxc3 8.bxc3 e5 9.Nf3 Qxd1+ 10.Kxd1 Nc6 11.Rb1 Be6 12.Rxb7 0-0-0+ 13.Kc2 Kxb7 14.Be3 f6 15.Be2 Rb8 16.Rb1+ Kc7 0-1

            This is not to gloat -- it is just to prove that it CAN happen.

              I played Rxb7 against Yan Teplitsky, and he instantly played O-O-O, threatening mate at d1. 0-1. I don't feel bad about overlooking the tactic, my crucial mistake was earlier. The line culminating in loss of the rook (or mate) was a desperate one, everything else was hopeless against a player of Yan's class.

              That effort was pretty close to O-O-O+. I'm still working on quadrupled pawns. Too.

              There's a story about Kortchnoi, decades ago, needing to ask the arbiter whether castling was legal in such a position.

                    After 17...Bxd5: "At this point I went up to the controller, and asked whether it was legal for me to castle when my rook was attacked. I was assured that it was. Afterwards, this incident was cited as being an indication of how extremely tired the players were. But in fact, out of the two and a half thousand games that I have played, there had never been an instance where it had been necessary for me to castle when my rook was attacked, and I was not sure that I understood correctly the rules of the game!"

                      This game is also one of the rare examples of "Castles, resigns".

                        Re: 0-0-0+

                        I found 12 games in my 4 million+ game database with (White's) 0-0-0+ followed by either Kxb2 or "resigns".

                        This game was unique since White did not capture the R. Black still had to give up the Exchange, but the game lasted another 40 moves.

                            I am lost but a ray of hope lights the board :

                              Gilles also questioned if it was a real game. As Jean Hébert pointed out, it certainly is. It was game 46 in the original edition of The King-Hunt by William Cozens (Bell 1970).

                              Unfortunately, the player of the black pieces is given only as Laurence. Sadly, when John Nunn put out a revised, algebraic version (Batsford 1996), he didn't correct the error.

                              There was a book written by FM Robert Timmer called Castling to Win! (ICE 1997); a translation of the 1994 Dutch work. Chapter 3 is entitled "Queenside Castling after a Rook Capture on b2 or b7". It contains 20 games and fragments on the theme.
