RUY LOPEZ - Close Morphy Defence
Black's QKtP to QKt4(b5) shielded his QKt from 7.BxKt..QPxB, 8.KtxP, and attacked White's bishop.
White's harrassed light Bishop retreats to a more active QKt3(b3), controls Q5(d5) and targets the Black king's relatively weak (ie. less defended) KBP.

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.
