Castling tactic

These puzzles use castling as the tactical move. Castling can step out of check, bring a rook to an open file, or move the king to a square where it supports a mating net.

Castling is legal only if the king and rook have not moved, the squares between them are empty, and the king does not pass through check. The rules page explains the full conditions.
