Hi In chess, castling is a way of making your king safe - making sure that he cannot easily be attacked The word 'safely' is not really needed. I suppose that if white played b4, c4 and then 0-0-0 then that would be castling unsafely! But usually, castling is a simple way of making your king safe from attack.

  • The piece is away from the centre of action and behind pawns that you will only move carefully and defensively Dave

Or perhaps it means that he was able to castle his king without endangering other pieces.
