The rules were pretty much as they are today back in the very late 1400's but even up until the 1800's there were still some areas of europe that castled the old way. That is to say that when you castled, you didn't need to move the king only two squares. You could actually move the king as many squares as you wanted. you could castle right into the corner if you wanted. Back in the 1920's people thought chess was played out because of the huge number of draws in the capablace - alekine match. Some new genius will always come along and set a new standard.
