It's the same as a mankhad in cricket. It is in the rules but only exists to enable you to show that you are a ttw at

En passant can be used by a pawn when an opposing pawn is moved two squares forward to come alongside it.

The pawn then captures as if the opposing pawn had only moved one square.

An obscure historical reason for it…

Probably how someone won a battle, so they decided to add it in

How cool is that!! Win a battle and change a rule... I might try that

Am going to invade Bulgaria and then change the rule so the queen can move like a Knight as well..

Think it is more of a historical chess issue sadly…

Oh no... Too late. I need to leave Bulgaria immediately!!

No, I think the reason for it is that, when the rule that a pawn could move 2 squares on it's first move was added, it became too easy to create a passed pawn. As such, En Passant was made
