Originally posted by NechoYou might consider reading the rules of chess before playing it.
As you see at the last move of this game (http://www.redhotpawn.com/core/playchess.php?gameid=9619105&cbqsid=14360) the last move is not possible. I don't know what my opponent did but how do I solve this?
The en passant rule is relatively new to chess so not everyone is aware of it yet.
From wiki....
Allowing the en passant capture is one of the last major rule changes in European chess that occurred between 1200 and 1600, together with the introduction of the two-square first move for pawns, castling, and the unlimited range for queens and bishops (Davidson 1949:14,16,57). Spanish master Ruy López de Segura gives the rule in his 1561 book Libro de la invencion liberal y arte del juego del axedrez (Golombek 1977:108). In most places the en passant rule was adopted as soon as the rule allowing the pawn to move two squares on its first move, but it was not universally accepted until the Italian rules were changed in 1880 (Hooper & Whyld 1992:124–25).
