[1080portal]

can you castle on either side?!!

[grobchess]

@1080portal Yes.

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?

[grobchess]

@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 :)

well, I knew all of this except the last move in this video, and I still always lose :/

[grobchess]

@ausauspatpat I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you should watch the other videos I have posted regarding strategy, etc.

thanks for teaching my friend some basics!! I made him watch all 3 videos. I have been playing for 15 years and didnt know about the move @ 3:45

[2525Anu]

great stuff, thanks sir!

[gaieve]

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.
