EN PASSANT
1.What is the En Passant Rule: The en passant rule is a special pawn capturing move in chess. "En passant" is a French expression that translates to "in passing," which is precisely how this capture works.
2.Rules of En Passant:
1.The capturing pawn must have advanced exactly 3 ranks to perform the move.
2.The captured pawn must have moved two squares in one move, landing right next to the capturing pawn.
3.The en passant capture must be performed on the turn immediately after the pawn being captured moves. If the player does not capture en passant on that turn, they no longer ca do it later.
