Beginner player, so apologies if my terminology isn’t super accurate.

In games against bots, (myself -white, bot - black) if they’ve advanced a pawn to row four, and I attempt to move a pawn to row four, next to their pawn, the computer will act like I’ve moved it to row 3, where the bot will capture it.

If I show the previous move and advance to the next move, it will show my pawn start to advance past the 3, and then will snap back to 3, and be captured. So it’s 100% not a misclick.

I’ve taken screen recording of it if there’s a place to send that. This has happened multiple times over the past couple of weeks

This is called en passant, a French term for “in passing”. This is used when your pawn has JUST moved 2 squares and your opponent’s pawn next to it. Note: can only be played RIGHT AFTER you move your pawn, or else it will be illegal. For more info, google “en passant”.
