King on c1: Kingside

The king stands on c1 — almost in the corner, far from the kingside. But kingside castling is still allowed for him, can you imagine? He'll march from c1 all the way to g1, and the rook from h1 will meet him on f1. I first thought you couldn't castle from that far away — turns out you can, as long as the road is clear. Drag the king onto the rook on h1!
