Yes, Pulpoferia, what Infernoimpact said.
What was the ultimate decision, please?

But, friendofmrcairo, here's a twist: the judge could not announce mate, since in fact it wasn't, no?
Very weird, would the judge have to say, you have one possible move...guess what it is?
If white didn't know about en passant, he would have had no ultimate choice but to resign.
Syd_Arthur írta:
Quetion: When playing an opponent OTB who does't know about en passant, and you use it, then he/she protests, should you...
1. Let them take the move back?
2. Let them keep the move but agree to refrain from using en passant (just this once)?
3. Insist your move should stand since it is a legitimate rule?
4. Get into a shouting match i.e. "That's not a real rule!"
"Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" etc. ect.?
5. Get up, take two steps backward and one to the right, and burp loudly in a northeasterly direction?
6. Start commenting on Tactics Trainer that every problem is "en passant"?
No one really should be allowed to play in an OTB tournament if they have no idea about any rules.

Let's face it...Pulpofeira's submission sealed the deal.
There is, literally, no more to say about "en passant".
Therefore, I propose that Pulpforia be declared the new "Thread Killer tm"!!!!
As long as there are no more posts after this, all winners and/or draw/stalemates will receive a customized, digitized, hyper- saturated trophy....
in seven days.

This thread has now officially experinced ego death. It will not commence the rebirth process...
for seven days.
No idea. The journalist makes a joke: maybe the tournament computer assigned a 0 to both players!
