THE ENPASSANT RULE IS SO DUMB

I usually get mad when someone plays En Passant against me, but when I play En Passant against someone, yes, it's a great rule if I'm winning if that position. En Passant is a bit confusing though but the sole purpose of En Passant is so that it's not inconvenient and the game won't be in a drawish position with a Pawn v. Pawn position. I don't have a side with En Passant because it is already a rule and you could do nothing about it unless they actually change the rules.

They are entitled to an opinion but there is no reason why anyone should consider their opinion to have any credibility. 

Technically it's pretty similar things no matter if it's within the rules or not.

Arey Yaar think like this no. Simply one can having opinion on various matter but not on the subject at hand. Then, it is multiple input is coming. Not at all necessary one is having special expertise the core subject it is. 

Apparently, if you're rated 200, you'll want to pluck your eyeballs out every time you see en passant occur...Ouch!

It makes perfect sense to me. In chess, opposing pawns (armies) are meant to confront one another, so it seems unfair, and contrary to the spirit of the game, that a pawn could use the option of moving two squares and avoid a confrontation.

Imagine zl0ck or one of his Bruhs playing OTB rapid and holding a winning position against an U8 girl then in the last two minutes of play she stops the clocks and calls in the arbiter who upholds her claim for a draw because zl0ck isn't making any progress with his overwhelming material advantage. I've seen this scenario more than once or twice in OTB junior rapid play tournaments, occasionally amusing but mostly sad.

Learn the rules, learn the moves, understand all the requirements to win a game, play and have fun.

Many Indians are practicing such practices as penance to the god only. Eyeball pullage and also using fingernails the grow through palm to please the god 

It will not happen like that 

You please using proper chessboard ya. What that thing cannot even see properly the peices even if pulling eyeball out and placing it on screen 

Exactly, en passant is not a foul, it is a rule of the game. If the rule had helped the OP win a game, he probably wouldn't have made this topic. 

Hi Mr VP Gupta are you are NRI resident such as me? Me too NRI us resident only, upper class Indian American it is. You also?
