en passant: legal but still a cheat move
Sort:
I actually won my elementary school’s chess tournament against a better player because I used en passant and she thought I was cheating and it made her so mad she screwed up. That is the highlight of my chess career to date.
Feelings? Chess rules are about feelings? I guess my hating of a late game castle is valid then, even though I use it often.
I hate the demoralizing position of a worthless king. I hate inequality of pawns, riderless horses, height deprived castles and non-religious bishops. Let's abort all rules. Lets call it checkers.

damn rules are based off of feelings? you realize thats how we got the US to the crap chute it is today.
It's always a good laugh, at my crummy chess level, to be told I'm cheating and being reported for using en passant.

If en passant is a “cheat move” then moving a pawn two squares on their first move is also cheating. Stop it with the stupid, whining posts. There is nothing cheating about it. It prevents someone from passing a pawn by jumping to squares without having the opportunity to capture it.
Just because you don’t understand that doesn’t make it a “cheat move”. It’s absolutely not desperate, and clearly you have been watching too much Gotham, because now you’ve adopted the outrageous view that it’s “disrespectful”. Ridiculous post, ridiculous opinion, ridiculous reasoning. Get over it and stop whining.

Not really whining. Bit of trivial silliness, like calling the queen overpowered.

Tells you much about your dealings in everyday life if you’re willing to make this “legal” move in a game.

You don't think and therefore don't understand. The real "cheat", in the first place, is to move two steps with the pawn instead of one. En passant is there to "punish" that type of cheating. That's all. So you and all others (except KIA and Nimzo-Larsen players) are cheating when you go 1.e4 etc. Let that sink in!

From now on we should report for cheating everybody who moves his pawn by 2 steps in one single move. These are the true cheaters responsible for all that mess.

I respect you for listening to neither the experts nor the law. Respect from people you don't even know is all that matters.

I agree, but to the person who feels cheated it really doesn't matter. You can't tell someone their feelings are wrong.
Your feelings are wrong

It doesn't really work that way though. If you said you love your mom, and someone else said "no, your feelings are wrong" that comment doesn't really carry any weight. If someone feels cheated by en passant, that's just the way they feel. You can't change it. Only they can change it.
No different than the tax deduction example. Two people paying taxes on identical income might owe different tax amount. Because one person used a rule that's legal, and the other didn't. The person that didn't might easily feel cheated. And we know there are a LOT of people who feel cheated when they pay taxes because someone else pays less. It's just human nature I guess.

Tell me someone used en passant against you without telling me someone used en passant against you.
a4, b4, c4, d4, e4, f4, g4, h4, a5, b5, c5, d5, e5, f5, h5 and g5 should all be illegal if they remove en passant.
