Pawn vs pawn problem
Sort:
I just played a mach and my white pawn was standing on B4, my opponent pawn was standing on A4, he moved his pawn to B3 and my B4 pawn died. how is that even possible???
It is the en passant. It is a special attack only pawns can do. It is also the only attack in which a piece kills another piece without landing on that piece
Have you not heard about it before?
The En Passant occurs when a pawn had moved 2 spaces forward in one move. If there is a pawn directly to the left or right of it and is on the same rank, it can kill it (if the white pawn is to be attacked, the pawns must be on the 4th rank, and if the black pawn is to be attacked, the pawns must be on the 5th rank)
