FIRST HISTORICAL 0-0-0-0 MATCH By: WCA Chess Club Print & Bookmark This! > The only way to play better & proper chess!!! < ========================================================= The 0-0-0-0 Castle or The Great Castle was invented in 2000 by NM Jan Paul Lubek. This castle should have been played from the earliest time of chess. The great Bobby Fischer loved 0-0-0-0! This is NOT some mere chess variation but the move is the core & heart of the game. It improves the game in many aspects, especially it creates king's safety for both colors, especially for queen side, black pieces! It also developes pieces faster. It makes the game better in all aspects. Imagine how many great, artistic games could have been played with this greatest of castles?! 0-0-0-0 castle = King to B square, Rook to C square, this is the only right way to play chess !!! The Big Castle will also bring media's attention to chess! 0-0-0-0 IS NOT SOME CHESS VARIANT, IT'S A MUST SUPERMOVE FOR CHESS !!!
