I am a beginner and I am playing against the bots. En passant is confusing me. I thought there were rules for en passant pawn movement.. I am playing white. I send a queen to take a pawn that has not moved. The neighboring pawn, that has also not moved, then takes my queen en passant. I thought all pawns had to have moved two spaces to take or be taken en passant. Something is not clicking with me. Can anyone help me? Thank you so much.
Close En passant capture can only be done with one of your pawns immediately after a neighboring pawn from the opponent advances 2 squares in such a way that if it moved one square, your pawn could capture it. It is like a normal pawn capture "intercepting" the enemy pawn on the first square before it gets a chance to advance to the second.
