[Retros] Castlind on cylindrical boards

[Joost de Heer]

As far as I know, there are 4 castling types in vertical cylinder chess. In 
two castlings, the white king ends on c1 and the rook on d1 and in the other 
two the king ends up on g1 and the rook on f1. About a year ago there was a 
composition by Étienne Dupuis in StrateGems which used this ultra-long 
castling. (it was a correction of a composition in which this ultra-long 
castling was a cook)

I long for my time to come, death means just life
Please let me die in solitude
