Greatest number of castlings: 3?!? You don't happen to know how the
illegal move came about, do you?

It's a game that you won't find in any chess databases because the moves
can't be keyed in.
Heidenfield castled k-side, then moved his king back to e1. Much later
in the game he castled q-side. He still managed to lose.

That much I can see from the game score, which is why I was asking about
the circumstances of the game. I cut and pasted the game into xboard and
it's interesting that it didn't complain about the illegal move.

That reminds me of an incident at the WBCA Blitz one year at the National
Open, where I was a floor TD. A player started to move a rook, but it flew
out of his hand, landing on the floor several feet away. His other rook had
been captured, so he simply picked it up from beside the board and moved it
to the square he had originally intended. His opponent objected, claiming
he had to retrieve the original rook from the floor, on his own clock time!
I ruled in favor of the first player.
