en passant

why aren't en passants legal in chess games? is it just too O.P or what?

En passant is a legal move.

then why can't i do it when playing a game of chess?

or a better question how?

Maybe you're not doing it correctly? Do you know how it works?

not exactly i think it does like a knight move but know that i think about it i'm wrong aren't i?

Say you're playing the white pieces. You have a pawn on e5. Your opponent has a pawn on f7, and tries to move her pawn to f5 in one move. You have the choice to take that pawn by removing it from the board and placing your e5 pawn on f6.

That diagram didn't work. Just go to this link:)

oh it only works if a piece has passed a direct line of attack for na pawn right? 

thank you

Oh, I was going to say you're welcome but the staff had given you the link before. Cool:)

just saw it know so whatever. 

Did we need a forum topic for that?

It's backwards day!

Next we'll see a post "Why am I constantly improving?? :("
