Does this apply to the pawns first move or any further moves
Originally posted by @jimmerIt applies to each pawn at the time it makes a two-square move, if the opponent has a pawn on the correct square in an adjacent file, so that the pawn that advances two squares passes it.

Originally posted by @caldon65The position is not an en passant situation.For en passant to apply, your pawn would have to be on the 5th rank.As your a pawn was on the 6th rank he could have simply have taken it.The term means "in passing".If your pawn had been on the 5th rank and he had moved the usual 1 square for a pawn it would have been possible for you to capture it.By moving 2 squares,the capture can be avoided by "passing" the attacking pawn.The en passant rule stops this. I hope this helps.
Hi...my game ID is 12868812...I cannot En passant an opponent's pawn (at move 14)
and I'm not sure why? His B pawn has moved 2 squares to avoid capture, shouldn't i be able to capture that B pawn with en passant? The game is not letting me and I'm not sure why? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
