black just moved to d5 from d7. if white wishes to capture the pawn, the notation would be exd5. but there are two moves that fit this notation!
how is this resolved?
notation ambiguity with en passant
Sort:
Mmm, as far as I know if you capture en passant it would be exd6.

Yeah, I think you're right.
Yes, exd6 is the most elegant solution. Otherwise you have to write exd e.p. or PxP e.p.

Btw, black's d7-d5 move is horrible.

That is correct.

There's no "important issue" here, just a misunderstanding of notation.

It was a simple question that was answered. exd6 is an en passant capture, and exd5 is the standard one. I love when life has such crisp, clear answers, and felt a celebration was appropriate.
And, in fairness, it's not jumping. It's dancing.
I apologize for the misunderstanding
Don't worry about it. Just dance!
