before en passant
after en passant
|
If a pawn advances two squares at its first move and comes next to the opponent's pawn , it may be captured by the opponent as it is pretended that it moved one square. It is called "en passant". But this capture must be made after the pawn moves two squares . If a player doesn't use this right and does another move , he will loose his "en passant right" and can not capture it again.
