Case contract

Input: {"board", "side": "w" or "b", "wing": "K" or "Q", "rights": subset of "KQkq"}. Standard castling is legal when the right is held, the king is on e1/e8 and the matching own rook on h- or a-file, the squares between them are empty (f,g or b,c,d), and none of the king's squares e, f, g (kingside) or e, d, c (queenside) is attacked by the opponent.

Why this case matters

Move validators gate every move in engines, servers and arbiters; accepting an illegal move or rejecting a legal one corrupts the game record.

One recorded failure
