Thank you. He is a beginner. So, I think he don't know enpassant.
How can I send this to him?

CEO Erik ran a fun article reviewing all the confused and sometimes nasty complaints that chess.com has received over the years about this problem.

Let's face it, it's illogical. If I have a pawn on the sixth and I do a double move to land it on the eighth, which is my opponent's back rank, to turn it into a queen and maybe checkmate his king, and if my opponent had a pawn there then he'd be able to take it when it was going past it even though it would be taking nothing. Like taking thin air, and he's got my queen, which isn't fair.
It seems like you still do not understand the rule, trust me it is a real rule, look it up
I didn't know about it for years.
Even an NM doesn't know the enpassant rule!!
How do you look things up?
Look up chess rules on Google
It doesn't exist. Can't do if an NM doesn't know it.
Just because a NM does not know about it does not mean squat, the rule is real!

It's harsh when that happens. Kind of sad.
I am playing that game yet.
You can see. In my playing daily games.

That's very simple. Think you are white. You have a pawn on d5. Black has a pawn on e7. Black pushes the E pawn to e5. Now white can capture the Black pawn in e5.
In the old days of chess, pawns could only move one square on the first move. In order to speed the game up, the ability for the pawn to move two squares on the first move was added. The en passant rule was added at the same time so a player couldn't use the new 2-square first move to avoid capture.
A player who played with me told that he had reported me about an illegal move .But its just an enpassant. I think he don't know it.
