Tried to use en passant in my last game, but it did not work. Please look into this, admins.

Could you clarify which game and what move you think it was possible?

 

Because, if you were talking about the following game, en passant was never possible.

That's the game, why is not en passant not possible (in move 9)?

Your pawn has to be on your 5th rank and your opponent has to make the initial pawn move of two squares, on an adjacent file, passing your pawn, ending up beside it. You then have the option on that move to take it as if it had only moved one square.

There was no point in that game where en passant was possible.
