Black rights looked up on rank 1 · case 04

Black file letters never map to rooks on rank 8.

Member previewVariant 4 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Input: {"board", "rights"}: rights letters are K/Q (outermost own rook on the back rank on the king's h-side / a-side), file letters A-H or a-h (the own rook on that file), or "-". A right only counts if the king is on its back rank (rank 1 for white, 8 for black) and the rook exists. Return the sorted distinct list of rook squares that carry castling rights.

Why this case matters

Chess960 and X-FEN positions encode castling by rook file; a wrong mapping castles with the wrong rook.

One recorded failure
