What is en passant?
En passant is a move where a pawn can take
another pawn, under strict condition, not obeying the general rules
of pawn captures.
In this sequence, as shown in the diagrams, the white pawn can take
the black one, not taking in diagonal. However this only works, if the
black pawn moves two squares. White has to take the pawn on his
next move, or then it doesnt work anymore.
This is a position from a real game, where black moves his pawn
two squares, and white can take it.
