Can white queenside castle?
Because the king has not yet moved, and the QUEENSIDE ROOK ALSO HAS NOT MOVED, white CAN STILL castle on the queenside. So if you can’t get your opponent to move his king early on, maybe you can get him to move one or both of his rooks. With his king in check, white now CANNOT castle.
Should you castle queenside or kingside?
King side is considered to place your king in a more safe position , however it is best to not castle immediately , instead wait to seewhih way your opponent lines up his pieces , then castle in the opposite side.
