5:05 what about umpasont or something like that, cant black capture pawn?

[jrobichess]

I talk about it in the video - basically if the pawn is taken white just promotes. However it wouldn't be enpassant because black's pawn would have to be on white's 3rd rank in order for that to happen. Thanks for checking out the vid!

@SydneyFC010 i was asking an innocent question back when i did not really know the rules of the game and was simply trying to find out as much as i could before i started playing. You are insulting a person who has never tried the game before and wanted to know more about it before blindly jumping in. YOU sir are the idiot.

@Jonny19191 1. d6 Kd8 is the correct move sequence, no 1... cxd6 Yes, it is winning for white anyway with 9. Kxc7... but is a bit longer set of moves
