Recently I was playing with an actor in my show when he did a most 
peculiar thing...he moved his king 2 spaces and justified it with the 
comment that he believed that the king could move 2 spaces its first 
move.  I have never heard of the king moving more than one space except 
to castle.

Also, in regards to castling, can you castle through check?  I know you 
can't castle if you are in check.

I so want to know the rules and if this "news to me" is correct.

thanx
