Should I castle in KOTH?

Yes, but if you trade queens it is better to search a safe place in the near of the center

@hydrophilic Yes, castle in KotH. The King is still the same amount of moves from the center, but it is safer and your rook now controls the center. (P.S. I am 1800 KotH on my other account, I do not play KotH on this one)
I'm no expert but it seems a good idea, if you play good chess it's easy to move your king to the hill when you're ahead and those who try to rush it there fail
@hydrophilic Those who rush to the center usually lose, since they can't castle even if they wanted to. I would suggest castling.
( standard puzzles can also apply in koth) .actually try to solve the puzzles with your skill level. your high score on puzzle streak is 3 yet you have a 3100 puzzle rating. you even flexed it in other forums. Quite sad actually that you say you want to improve when you do that.
