Bug in castling logic

Castling rules: "Castling may only be done if the king has never moved, the rook involved has never moved, the squares between the king and the rook involved are unoccupied, the king is not in check, and the king does not cross over or end on a square in which it would be in check." (from Wikipedia)
So, only king cannot cross over attacked square, that means castling was legal ;)
The king only moves two squares over when castling, so it was legal.
1628 rated player doesn't know the rules of castling.

Wow can I unlearn how to castle?:-D
the weird part is, he was white in that game and said his own move was illegal.
am i missing something here ?
Well actually, I never read the chess rules! my mistake! but i always thought that if any of the squares between the king and rook are "attackable" by an opponents piece you can't castle.... XD
@H3PO5 - its not about winning. :) Its about playing the right way, and having a good game!
@iSmashYou - when you castled your king was moving from e1 to c1 thru d1. None of these three squares were attacked by a black piece so you could castle. Square b1 was attacked by the black bishop but it didn't matter as your king did not move to or thru that square.
