Fischer castling not working? #164

I tried using position 17 in Fischer Random chess. Turns out I was unable to castle kingside, even after moving the left rook. As far as I understand the source code, in case of “ambiguous castling” such as this, a dialogue box is supposed to show up asking you if you would like to castle or simply move the king. But no such dialogue box shows up when I test the app.

EDIT: Let me add that this interface for Fischer castling (with a dialogue box) is extremely confusing and very unusual. In practically all other chess apps, you do Fischer castling by moving the king onto the rook.

Thanks for pointing to this issue.
The business logic and UI for castling needs a makeover.
