Yes.
About 200 times (in 200 different games, not the same game).
Have you ever used "en passant" in a real game?
Sort:
It would be quite a trick to use it 200 times in the same game!
Actually I'm kicking myself right now for not playing an e.p. capture in one of my online games yesterday - I think I just blew my position. But yes, I have played it, although not that often.
Nope.
Many times OTB. I find it's a good idea nearly every opportunity to do it.
Anyone who plays chess has played it in a real game lol :p
Maybe 1 in 10, but it just depends, it's not like I keep track either.
As a professional player of the hippo system, I never have the chance. :'(
Just kidding. en passants tend to be quite useful, and the threat of en passant is powerful as well.
Yes, it happens all the time. I'd say once in every 20-25 games or so?
Only once, tournament.
Yes.
I've castled in real games too (sometimes Queen Side 0-0-0!).
But ......... I have never "J'adoubed".

You my friend are stupid :]
xD jk, but are you serious?! Castling ftw!
it depends on the position and viabilty
I remember once playing it when I was on my highschool's chess team. The other player hadn't known about en passant. He questioned legality of the move, but he did it politely and I was polite with him as well. We simply talked to one of the teachers running the event and of course the teacher agreed that my move was legal. I took no offense. I knew that at that skill level that is possible that someone might not have heard of en passant, and to such a person, en passant might look weird and illegal.
If by real games you mean OTB I've not played any.

Yeah, and what about pawn promotion? You're issued all the pieces you need, you should finish the job with them. Also, knight forks are a cheap shot unworthy of a real chessplayer.

True. Those thing are almost as despicable as taking somebodys hanging queen.
Quite right. Making chess moves can be seen as taking advantage of your opponent.

If you have, how often?
