Yes you can take on pasta but only if the pawn is al dente.
Someone told me about a pawn move called 'on pasta'. Could someone explain? Is it anything to do with 'penne-ing' queens to kings or fettuccine bishops?

I'm sorry Lowind, but I don't speak French, and judging by your flag you don't either. Could you provide a translation please?
In passing is the translation of what lowind typed. Don't know what that has to do with pasta though.

How many minutes does it take to get a pawn al dente? I doubt that in 5 minutes Blitzchess can be a Pawn al dente, which surely needs more than 10 minutes!

I usually see it online, interesting.
Also, why was this clearly chess related question moved to Fun with Chess?

That is called when playing some (not all) people from italy. Don't ask me why, but it's a sad fact.

But I played a Czech game last week and the opponent said on pasta? They were from USofA!

Cool. I'm guessing e.p. stands for eating pasta though, but at the start of the book it says it means on pasta!!!?! Are they making lots of spelling mistakes or has education failed us all, and on starts with the letter 'e'!!! must be eon pasta.

You mean "pinning" queens to kings or "fianchetto" bishops.
