i could take this chump down in 4 moves np ! even if he did see the fools mate i dont think he could hold his posstion against someone who can play, like me !
first time i ever understood chess. thx. but in en passant, is the point of this move just to give you a one-time opportunity to take the opponent's pawn which would otherwise be an illegal move? because, all that is happening is the white pawn is going diagonally up into the left(where the black could have been had it not moved 2 squares) & it can move that way even regularly, but this en passant option gives you the oprtnty to move up dat way & take the opponent's black pawn - correct?
@7Mushrooms7 En passant gives a player the option to take an opponent's pawn on the move directly after an opponent's pawn has moved two spaces and landed next to one of his own pawns. In doing so, he removes the pawn from the square it landed on and moves his own pawn onto the square that the opponent's pawn skipped over. If the player does not want to take the pawn en passant, then he does not have to, but cannot take it at a later point. Hope this isn't too convoluted to understand :)
@TheLastFraudster If you can spend the money, then a membership at the Internet Chess Club using BlitzIn or Dasher software is best. If not, the Free Internet Chess Server isn't far behind and has thousands of players daily. I would not recommend sites like Yahoo, MSN Games, or Pogo.
thanX again so much for these videos. my son and i viewed all 3 together and had a bit better understanding of the game. still, it is a very complex and beautiful game and we are looking forward to the huge tournament today at washington square park. keep posting more instructional stuff on chess please! :-))
i am unbeatable at checkers ... but even on easy difficulty on my tablet i get my butt kicked on chess ..... i dont get it i play around with it and i try doing the same thing that the computer just did to me and it wont let me ..... forget chess i will stick with checkers!!!
This was a really excellent introduction. You have a wonderful instruction voice. I like that you used a simple computer program to demonstrate, too. It's very clear to understand which piece is which and what you are doing that way.
Really fantastic tutorial. By far the clearest and most helpful one I've come across. I recently picked up chess (at the age of 20, I feel a bit foolish for not picking this up years ago) and this tutorial series just helped me clarify that I was playing correctly.
thanks dude i just watched all 3 lectures gonna play like 10-15 games then watch your future lectures.thanks =) always wanted to learn how play chess , now i know that basics thanks
great stuff, thanks sir!

Is the En Passant legal if the pawn only moves 1 space to be beside an opposing pawn?
i.e. Exactly like how you explained, but the attacking white pawn is one space forward and the black pawn only moves one space.

I didn't understand... the 'an passan ' (I don't know how to spell it) move would make me take the pawn if I do that or is just a move?

Can you use castling to take pieces? Like if there were pieces where the king and rook would be, could you do the castling and take them out?

You can't castle OUT of check, if your king is in check, you may not castle. don't think you mentioned that specifically
