"en passant"

Sort:
Avatar of walleye1212

I have tried to use an "en passant" move quite a few times during my games but it doesn't allow me to.  My opponents are able to use it all the time. Is there some special button I have to use to let the move go through?  Pretty frustrated with the whole thing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It has always worked for me. Are you sure you are in a legal e.p. position? Undecided

remember u can only use that move when your pawn is on the 5th rank and your opponents pawn to the left or right is still in their starting postion , then ur oppnent jumps one of these pawns 2 spaces forward passing over your attack square on your next move you can use the en passant (must be down right after the double space jump by oppenents pawn) , if your oppenent first moves his pawn one square and then to the second you can not perform en passant because he would have challenged your pawn and ofcourse you cant en passant if it would cause ur king danger, i rarely use the move but im always on the lookout for good opportunitys to use it

Are you sure you are doing en passant correctly? Remember that en passant can only be made IMMEDIATELY after your opponent moved his pawn from his 2nd rank to his 4th rank where your pawn will then be adjacent to his.

In this puzzle, push your pawn on the first move, then capture Black's pawn en passant on the second move. If you can't do this then you are trying to capture the pawn in the wrong way.
