En Passant
The last rule about pawns is called “en passant,” which is French basically means “in passing”. If a pawn moves out two squares on its first move, and by doing so lands to the side of an opponent’s pawn (effectively jumping past the other pawn’s ability to capture it), that other pawn has the option of capturing the first pawn as it passes by. This special move must be done immediately after the first pawn has moved past, otherwise the option to capture it is no longer available.
So the answer to your question is No.
This move helped me once to take a queen. The pawn passed, I En passant'ed the move, put the king in check, thus pinning the queen, while open for capture. The king took the pawn, but I got the queen with my bishop. It was a sweet move, that made a game I was loosing, turn into one that I actually won. Luck on my part that he/she did account for that when they moved.
in an effort to understand "en passant" . -
If i miss my oppurtunity to use this rule and take my opponents piece directly after they move their pawn next to mine, can they then do "en passant" to me?
