Hi Greg
In case of my Wide Chess variant's fast castling rules, it's perfectly possible for a king to move just one square, I'd hope was clear from the wording of that game's rules. I don't feel too bad that this is so, since a king moving just one square in castling (or even moving zero squares) is possible in Fischer Random Chess thanks to some possible setups. On the other hand, in the case of my Wide Chess, the fast castling rule I came up with is complicated by allowing the king to pass over attacked or occupied squares during the castling process. I've since seen another variant where attacked squares can be passed over, but not occupied ones, and I cannot recall other details of that variant's castling rules, not even the variant's name unfortunately.
