So the top screenshot is the second one to look at and yes I realise I sound mental but I do not remember the second castle

As I said, you simply misremembered the position. You moved the h8 rook to c8 on move 46. A few moves later your opponent captured it with his b7 pawn. No mystery here. For your own sanity, forget about it and play on...

hi chess.com players

Several times I’ve had funny things happen on the board, which I now know is the en passant move but!

the last 2 times with one for definite, has me completely bewildered me?

i really would like to describe the last one that happened to me but there was a lot of pieces on the board and I rage quit! ( Well very annoyed quit anyway) 

 

but the previous one to that, was as far as I’ve read...impossible ? 

 

This is what happened.......  I moved my castle to G1 to stop his pawn at G2 from queening, his Queen was at H3. I left it there for several moves thinking he will have to take me somehow.....THEN his pawn slipped past my castle to F1 and queened??? I had to take him and lost it ...WTH? 

 

I under the impression the en passant move only work after moving 2 moves with the pawns first move immediately after......he was at the bottom???

 

any who can explain this will be very much appreciated  

 

1. What's a castle? Is that UK?

Yes it’s a rook

It has different names in different cultures (and at different times in history). Rook, Castle, Elephant, Chariot...
