What does Castled really mean?

Alright, so "castled" is a term we use in chess. When you "castle" in chess, you're moving your king and one of your rooks at the same time. This is a special move that helps protect your king and also brings one of your rooks into the game.

Let's break it down a bit more. So, imagine that your king and rook are in their starting positions on the board. When you castle, you move your king two squares towards the rook, and then you move the rook to the square next to the king.

Now, there are two different ways you can castle: kingside and queenside. When you castle kingside, your king moves two squares to the right, and the rook moves to the square next to the king on the right-hand side. When you castle queenside, your king moves two squares to the left, and the rook moves to the square next to the king on the left-hand side.

So, "castled" is just a term we use to describe this special move in chess. It's a really important move because it helps keep your king safe and also brings one of your rooks out of the corner and into the action on the board.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions about chess or any other words you want to learn about.
