Consider the following statements under FIDE chess rules: 1. A pawn may be promoted to a queen upon reaching the 8th rank, even if the original queen is still on the board. 2. Castling is allowed only if neither the king nor rook has moved, and the king doesn't pass through or into check. Which of the above statement is/are Correct?
1 and 2 both are Correct
Statement 1: Under FIDE Laws of Chess, a pawn reaching the last (8th) rank must be exchanged for a queen, rook, bishop or knight of the same colour. This is allowed regardless of the pieces still on the board, so a player can have two or more queens. Statement 1 is correct.
Statement 2: Castling is permitted only if the king and the rook concerned have not moved earlier, and the king does not pass over or land on a square attacked by an enemy piece. Statement 2 is correct.
Hence, the answer is: 1 and 2 both are Correct.
