@BanksEntertainment, it would have been the king not the queen that it moved ?

good analysis and everything but i think whites are better off with strong pawn build up in the middle center of the board....black's queen pawn is just hanging without any protection besides queen which has to be moved on the chess board very quickly at times....And plus in the beginning of the game, white could have played the pawn to d5 attacking black's knight and forcing black to retrieve it....

I just played Chess Titans on my computer. One of my moves was my Knight. Well, after I moved, Computer moved the Queen & Rook simultaneously.Computer had 2 spaces in between Rook and Queen, horizontally moved both pieces close to each other and switched positions; whomever was on the left was place on the right & on the right, placed on the left of the other piece.I did an undo & repeated the same move 2 make sure I wasn't seeing things & the same thing happened.Is it really a legal move?

@ModernNosferatu black would take back with the g-pawn to open the file for his f-rook. furthermore, in a kingside castled position it is quite common to start an attack with f4 (f5 for black) anyway

@ 5:11 it is now whites move, I am no pro but wouldn't it be better for whites bishop to take blacks white bishop forcing the H7 pawn to take back white bishop thus kinda wreaking blacks castle defense? I am a Chess n00b so if someone could explain that to me it would be appreciated.
