RUY LOPEZ - Close Morphy Defence
Black's KB to K2(e7) enabled early castling and began the highly popular Morphy Close line.
White in the main moves his King's Rook to the king's file to defend his KP, and the threat to win a pawn by 7.BxKt..QPxB, 8.KtxP is now real. W-Alt.

When castling always touch the king first
Under FIDE laws of chess, if a player deliberately touches a rook and then his king, he is not allowed to castle on that side on that move but must still move the rook if legally possible.
