If a pawn moves two squares forward putting it adjacent to an enemy pawn, then (provided they do it on the very next move) that enemy pawn can capture it as if it had only moved one square forward. Notionally it is captured "in passing."

I think 22. f4 would have been a solid move if the
en passant
rule didn't exist, and I'd rather not get a big advantage just because you didn't know all the rules, so if you want we can back up and you can play a different move instead.

Well, if you’re okay with that? Let me think about it.

So for future reference,
en passent
is when you capture an enemy pawn immediately after your opening with said pawn, correct?

I’ve only had the computer do this move against me and was completely baffled by it but this is the first time I’ve had a human opponent do that to me.

That sounds about right; lichess has a learning module on it if it's still unclear.

Hi sorry TM has left me little time for anything else. If you’re 100% okay with redoing your en passent move and letting me do it over. I’m okay with it. I just wouldn’t want to win or lose because of it, if that makes sense.

However, I probably won’t really be able to get into this too much until it’s over. Would you be okay with pausing it until TM is over? or when things slow down I’ll pm you?

It's fine. I'm still getting to take advantage of the rule in a sense because part of the consideration in my playing a move like Be5 is knowing you can't just kick the bishop away with f4, so it doesn't bother me if you play something else.

And sure, take all the time you need, I'll just consider this game on hiatus.

Well you'd want to play a different move than f4 there, if that's what you play I'm still going to capture en passant.

Sure it’s going to take me awhile to get back into this game. I really appreciate you being so patient with me.

I'm saying if you're going to play Qxb2 you can go ahead and assume I reply Bxb2 and make your next move too.

You do also have Ka1 as a (terrible) legal move

No, I was trying to save you the time of waiting for my next move by telling you what it's going to be.

If you're still confused then just ignore it
