Re: Chess '960' Glitch{!}
It isn't a glitch, you were trying to make an illegal move.
 
From caissa's encyclopedia:
 
How to castle in Chess960
 
(snip)
 
After castling in Chess960, the final position of both the rook and king is the same as in standard chess. As an example, for white, queenside castling will always result in the king on c1 and the rook on d1. For kingside castling, the king will end up on g1 and the rook on f1.
 
(snip)
 
This wouldn't have been possible on your first move.

Re: Chess '960' Glitch{!}
pazuzu is correct that castling is illegal in the starting position of the game in question. The clock continuing to run and no move appearing in the move list are normal behavior since the move was not allowed. Can you clarify what you mean when you say it was taken note of on the graphic board? All pieces should have returned to their original squares once the move was rejected.

I think I remember this game. The move showed as made on my board also, but the turn and clock continued to count for my opponent.

Why not? If the initial position had white's king on f1 and kingside rook on g1, you could play 0-0 on your first move and the two pieces would simply switch positions. Right? There are no pieces inbetween and there's no way the move would be endangering the king.

I was talking about this particular game in question. In this game his king was on g1 and his rook was on h1. I believe there was a knight on f1. Had he moved his knight first then he could have castled on his second move.

Obviously I did no research and spoke straight from my @ss. I figured 4%Luck wasn't 96% stupid and wouldn't hit the button if the move wasn't possible.
 
HoM continues to prove me wrong everytime I assume he has common sense.
