- Some of the "Archfiend" cards are chess themed, including the six monsters each with a different Attribute and each featuring a chessboard background, all of whom are based on a chesspiece.
- This monster is based on the Rook.
- Its special ability is similar to the chess move "Castling". In chess, this technique is generally used to compromise the Rook's position in exchange for the King's safety, similar to how this card sends itself to the Graveyard to allow the King to escape destruction.
- This card's appearance seems similar to the altar in "Altar for Tribute", and may play a storyline role; that altar is part of the artwork in "Pandemonium", the 'home turf' of the Chess Archfiends.
- This card appears in the artworks of "Spell Summon Stopper" and "Castle Link".
