very nice, the capture free rendition of invisible castling on the queen side.
I found the following for the fake castling task,
rn2kbnr/p2pp1pp/1pp4B/5p2/4NP2/2PP3b/PPQ1PqPP/2KR1BNR
9.5 moves    C+
1. Pd2-d3   Pc7-c6     2. Fc1-h6   Dd8-b6     3. Pf2-f4   Db6-f2    
 4. Re1-d2   Pb7-b6     5. Cb1-c3   Fc8-a6     6. Cc3-e4   Fa6-c4    
 7. Pc2-c3   Fc4-e6     8. Dd1-c2   Fe6-h3     9. Ta1-d1   Pf7-f5    
10. Rd2-c1   
9.5 moves. It's suspicious the fact that this is shorter than the previously shown O-O case (?)
Best,
Roberto
