Why can't black do this?

1. white-pawn to E4

2. black-pawn to E5

3. white-knight to F3

4. black-knight to F6 (instead of to C6)

Please Explain

@simon13579100 Yes you can, it's called Petrov's Defence.

Why cant they turn into a king... that would be a cool challenge =) Never thought of that.

[Pinoyako11705]

another thing a pawn can't turn into reaching the other side... is another pawn.

My computer en passants any piece it can, not just pawns!

@SiliconBong O_O



[SiliconBong]

I thought that was the 'windows rule' fryber21. Once the computer's got the pawn in the fifth column . . . it can eat whatever comes its way !!

Kings pawn to frogs pawn

I always thought that if a pawn had the ability to capture a piece, it had to capture the piece and was not allowed to move forward instead. It was not mentioned in this video, so I'm assuming that rule is false.

I never knew that about capturing from behind... thing. Thanks! Although i doubt i will ever use it, as no one else knows :P

Thanks for the videos man.....I used to play chess till my college (but stopped after I started working) and let me tell u i didnt knew about that En passant move (3.38)...kind of stupid i know....but it was good decision to started with basics.....now getting back my interest in this game again......

And I think 'Wontonlo' was also asking abt En passant move.....

[lsefia]

Ok here goes, I am going through all the videos. It's so much in order in the website. Been reading about en passant but I finally understand it from this video.

[caelweird]

Thank you very much, I'm just starting to study the game of chess. I had no idea about en passant. Now I have a secret move for my friends XD !

[wontonlo]

when the opponent moves two spaces. black pwn 5c and white pwn moves from d5 to c6 the next turn.

[thechesswebsite]

en passant, check out video around 3:35

[wontonlo]

[thechesswebsite]
