Tree is no such thing as a sideways pawn move. You could mean en passant?

Isn’t any pawn capture sideways because it is moving out of its column?

Seriously guys, why would it be "en passant"? The way it's described, it's just the normal pawn capture.

The fact that he’s confused about it probably means it isn’t just a normal pawn capture

This is a new player who is literally 100 rated. Everything is possible.

En passant looks like a sideways move since the two pawns are side by side initially

Looking at the OP's last game, there is indeed an en passant capture, so that's probably what he meant.
