Learn rules of chess before you play it.
Yes, you explained it correctly, samtheman405 was correct, this is called en-passant. Try this link: http://www.chess.com/chessopedia/view/en-passant .
yup thanks for replying ppl, cept for u streptomicin...ill beat u n i dnt know how to play apparently haha
You have won vs. 1924 player and you do not know what En passant is??
nope nvr heard of it before...is der ne other weird rules like that?
Yup. Castling and stalemate rules throw some inexperienced players off as well.
Perpetual check is another that creats problems!
Ok dnt know wat dat is, i know how to castle, stalemate rules(draw by repititiion)??? Tactically im know im no good, n my endgame is absolute rubbish, i keep drawing r losing games after gettin a good piece advantage....The free chess help touneys are crap cos my opponents wont tell me wat i shud b doing, i thought dat was the point!!!
A lot of people have had "en passant" omitted from their chess indoctrination. I have no idea why. It's a shame that the people who teach the game, leave this rule out. To a lesser extent some don't tell their students about castling or pawn promotion either.

No it is not rude as even chess.com have strange bug's sometime.What is rude are all you "YES" saying who doesn't allow that someone is having a problem and think that chess.com never fails.
How would you want chess.com to move forwards if you can't ask or suggest anything with out having your your saying "YES" on your back.
A lot of people are unaware of the En Passent rule, it was devised in 1800 some thing Century to speed up the game of chess, it does forever surprise me of the lack of knowledge on such an important move, but hey, were here to learn & play, yo!
kinda suprised me at first when i was hit with it, it gives me so much pleasure to use it now.
In my tournament game i moved a pawn from its starting position up two squares, but now my opponent took that piece from a square back...This is some kind of flaw and it could/will cost me the game...What can i do to change this?
