Adjacent: Queenside

Same position, opposite flank. The king on b1 and the rook on a1 stand right next to each other — and many are convinced you can't castle when adjacent. You can: the 960 rules don't forbid it. The king only has to step to c1, and the rook will hop over him to d1. Execute queenside castling.
