Problems Regarding Pawns En Passant

I believe it should be called En Croissant. Please change this.  Also, pawns should be able to promote into anti-pawns, which are pawns that move backwards and look like upside-down pawns.. Anti-pawns can promote like a pawn if they cross the board once more, and can turn into normal pawns again. Maybe add to a new chess variant?

It is called En passant because it means in passing. Sorry bud. You can’t change rules that are 100s of years old. And also chess 2.0 is mever cominh

Perhaps as a variant, but since pawn promotion doesn't happen to often in regular chess games, I'm guessing that adding anti-pawns upon promotion wouldn't really change the game significantly enough to be an interesting variant. In fact, it would probably make the advance of pawns less desireable, since pawn promotion is worth much less (anti-pawns are definitely less desireable than a potential queen), so it would pretty much be regular chess, but with even less motivation to advance pawns in the middlegame and endgame.

@KeSetoKaiba yeah, but add it to a variant with other features too, it could be a minor change.

@Josh11live I meant 'antipawns' as a concept in a variant, I know chess isn't coming. Also, the pawn moves in a "C" shape, similar to a croissant, and it sounds funny. En passant sounds like a fancy restaurant's name. Additionally, en croissant is already being used commonly.

P.S. Grammarly thinks it should be called En Eclair

When a pawn captures an anti-pawn, or vice-versa, both pieces are annihilated.

It’s like anti matter vs matter. When both collide they cancel out each other leading to none of them surviving. Yeah that’s a good idea #7. #5 you could have said it was a variant. I thought you were talking about a vid or a miss type or anything that is not a variant.
