# Making moves

Moves in Arasan are made with the mouse. Move the mouse over the piece you want to move, and press the left button down. Then, keeping the button pressed down, move the mouse to the square you want to move to. Then release the mouse button. Arasan will make the move if it is legal.

Note: to castle, select the king with the mouse and move it to the square it will occupy after castling. Arasan will automatically move the rook, too. If you are promoting a pawn, Arasan will prompt you for the piece to promote it to.
