En Passant is A JOKE


It funny how people always make these crybaby forum threads just after losing a game. Suck it up. We're not going to change the rules of chess because you made 1 bad move and started crying about it in the forums.
Wouldn't it be easier to just admit that 42. ... c5 was a mistake?
no, c5 was a setup to a joke as the op has so passionately explained

Its saddening to see that threads like this which are used by people just as a medium to vent out their temporary frustration , get the unwanted attention rather than the others , engaging where could help out people in trouble and be more productive as a consequence.
Are you referring to the OP
Cry like a grandmaster.
1 - Wake up
2 - Wash your face
3 - Go to computer and open the chess.com
4 - Play a game and lose
5 - Blame the chess rules
If you achieved 5/5, you are a FIDE Crymaster.

2 weeks ago, I woke up and thought to myselve: The inventor of this e.p. rule must have been some kind of genius or crazy. At least something of an extreme. What would chess be without it?

I agree, e.p. adds a human touch to the game, its a beauty, it prevents the game from being mechanical.
Cherish this move, for it is us (humanity).

i love these en passant rants.
let it all out man, do the speaking in tongues as well
there is another big surprise waiting for you, it’s called stalemate.

Huh?

If there were no en passant then chess would've died long ago. 100% of GM games would be drawn, 95% of IM games. 90% of FM games. 85% of master games. & a whopping 80% of amateur games. Almost all positions would get locked up beyond hope of anything happening. Whoever invented en passant was a genius.
Checkmate.
