Hey did the first lesson of this yesterday and there was an immediate improvement in my game. Was actually noticeing 1500 players playing scared but they saw they couldn't bully me! Beat a few to,however, my weakness is the end game. Iam inventive with many pieces but lose the plot in end games. Why don't you add the links from part one to part to etc in your videos for ease of access? Thank you.

en passant translates to "while passing" or "in passing" and that's exactly what it is. It's when the opponents pawn "passes" your pawn with its first pawn move up two squares.

The knight on C5 can move to D3 to fork the attacker....

Wait, I thought en passant was when two pieces were next to each other, like on e and f. It's supposed to be above each other?
