The power of en passant

White moves and wins:

The black kings position is silly, let's hope we never end up like that.

Like i have written, this is the end of a study. Black wanted to go for a stalemate the moves before. So, black's kingposition result from this try. I can look for the whole study, if you want.

What i am thinking about is the title of the post. For black it is bad to move en-passant. Maybe the title is not good?

That is my point, I thought it silly for black to take an en passant. Perhaps this could be an example of how not to play en passant. I don't mean to be rude or anything, the internet has a funny way if misrepresenting things :)

        In the given position, after White's pawn move, Black's only legal move is to take en passant. It's not a matter of how to play or how not to play en passant.

And what alternative would you suggest?

The en passant capture was forced.

I think, i can't change the title anymore. If i could, has someone any suggestions?
