En Passant is Forced.

I ended up forcing en passant in a game I played, which is funny considering the fact that en passant is almost never forced. (It's on move 42 btw)

Because the move is so satisfying to play, it would feel forced. But it’s not.

To prolong the game, yes.

This is completely right, the en passant was forced because the opponents king cannot move and cannot take with his king so he has to en passant to take the pawn. He's black in this case, if you were to look at the stats, it said his opponent and then himself which in order is white vs. black. I don't know why oyu guys are questioning him, even though he got this completely right.

Yes. Totally forced. The opposite of forced would have been unforced, or having an 'option'.

It would be more accurate to display the board from the perspective of black in this case. Since @AstroDogePlaysChess played as black in the game, it would make sense to present the game from their point of view. This would enable us to portray the moves and tactics employed by both players accurately and ensure that the game is portrayed as fairly and objectively as possible.
