Oh, really!?
What is En passant?
Sort:
every pawn is gooooooooooooooood.
The thread topic is on en passant...
...but the ongoing discussion is about each player's favourite pawn?
My favorite pawn is the one that is able to become a queen
Ned Kelly knew about en passant. Before those blimey blokes shot him down.

Can You Explain more about it here? So others can learn more too!
Which pawn is your favorite. Example: My favorite is the E pawn. Why? It controls the center and I have more tactics using that pawn. Well, what's yours?
It sounds made-up to me.
Im surprised no one complied about getting rid of it yet

Yes: those on the 7th row (when you're white). I also prefer these. Actually, more often those closer to the border (a- and h-) than those in the center (who live more dangerously), I believe.
But indeed, no word about en passant. OTOH, why should there be a discussion about? It's part of the rules, and IMO less weird than many other rules, many of which you probably even don't know (when winning on time with insufficient material isn't a win; the stalemate thing; the castling rules certainly; ... )
En passant just comes from the fact that the initial 2-step move (also an extremely weird rule!) is actually 2 moves in one, and when the second step is done "at the same time", then you can take as it it wasn't done, that's all.
*=Interesting
I think en passant sounds like a very fancy expensive dish made from the finest ingredients from France. I could be wrong though.
