Hello,
Chess Partner insists that one cannot castle once a King has
been in check (i.e. currently not in check).
Provided all other
restrictions have been met, I believe that it is in fact
permissible. Can you enlighten?
Thank you,

Dear viewer,
The rules of
Chess state that castling is illegal
when:
1.
The
King has
moved earlier
2. The Rook has
moved earlier
3. The King
is in check
4. The King
is under an opponent's attack
5. The
King's squares of journey and destiny are under hostile attack
by an opponent's piece.
6. If
there are Chess pieces between the King or the Rook
If you have
been checked during a game and you have met
the above rules
(i.e. the check was blocked
by interposing another piece
or by taking the enemy piece with an own piece other than the
King or Rook
involved in the castling)
then nothing will prevent
you from castling later.
This applies no matter how many times your King has been put in
check during the game.
