Castling problem

There's a problem with castling with queenside rook. My bishop was attacking a square between the king and the rook. However he managed to castle. Unless I don't know the rules, it shouldn't be allowed to do this move.
Seems to be the wrong link. At least nobody castled in that game.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if a1/a8 or b1/b8 or h1/h8 are attacked.
As long as the king isn't in check before & after castling and the square the king has to pass through isn't attacked, you can castle.
When you try to play from the 11th move, blacks can castle…
LOL, he didn't catle, he just moved the rook.
oh right the rook can pass through an attacked square, then it is solved

In this position white is not allowed to castle kingsside, but queensside, black isn't allowed to do either.

Because it's not relevant whether a square between rook and king is attacked, but whether the king moves on the square while moving; meaning that when castling queensside only the squares c and d are relevant, and when castling kingsside f and g.
