Sorry for being late but there pawn will be on the square to the right of mine and take mine even though it’s not diagonal

En passent

[@isavenewspapers8890]

This is known as an en passant (in passing) capture. Right after a pawn makes a two-square move and lands side-by-side with an enemy pawn, that enemy pawn can capture the first pawn as if it had moved only one square. (You can think of it this way: the capturing pawn is "catching" the pawn that is moving two squares.) This capture is available only if you do it right away; you can't wait and do it on a later move.

[@tetrafoot]

so, all the pawns can move 2 squares at their first move, and you can capture these "2 square jumpers" with the "en passant move", if he lands next to your pawn, just like he would've moved only 1 square, but only if you do it as you next move, you can't do it later, after you moved something else... Am I getting this right?

I think s0

[@GSWFrosteD]

Yep thats right

[@wakeup9738]

Thank you

[@BedrockBlocker]

En passant is probably the 2nd most confusing rule in chess

[@Judge_Jon]

It's not all that difficult. If an enemy pawn moves two spaces on their first move and lands beside your pawn you can capture them like they only moved one space.

[@MrDavecr7]

What do you find to be the most confusing?

[@BedrockBlocker]

@@MrDavecr7 I would say castleing is the most confusing. - It is the only move where you are allowed to move 2 of you pieces - You have to touch the King first - There are two ways to do it - There are constriants

[@sakshampandey4333]

I am agree with this

[@sparkz3428]

En passant is the most difficult to pull off but not very confusing

Does the white pawn on the left get blocked or no?

[@vaishalishrimali6348]

Is all pawn can move 1 or 2 square on their first move ?
