I did a little bit of proofreading and did some minor corrections of typos, punctuation, grammar, and word choice.

I didn't add capitalization or ending periods, though I'm wondering if you would like to add them. I noticed that The History of Castling section used a smaller font because you used a table. I have started using flex boxes instead of tables, but I didn't touch your HTML.

When I was programming castling subroutines for Game Courier, I made them agnostic about the identity of the two pieces castling. One game that comes to mind where this is useful is Chess with Different Armies. In that game, a King may castle with whatever piece in its army begins in the corners. Maybe you could add something about games that allow castling with pieces other than rooks or even the king if there are any.
