Sorry, I haven't kept the game details to show this graphically.

In a game of blitz recently, I put my opponent in check with a double pawn move. He could've taken the pawn en passant but the game ended there as checkmate. Is this correct or is it a glitch on the blitz site?

glitch or wrong interpretation of the en passant rule.

This is a long shot, but was the pawn that could have taken the other pawn en passant, pinned to the king by any chance?

Ha, that would be an interesting blog for Greenpawn! I have a feeling that there might have been some discussion about an en passant glitch some years back. Wouldn't know where to start looking for it though..

No, the only other pieces involved were two knights and another pawn. Sorry, I really should have taken a screen shot

There is a bug in blitz (has been discussed in previous threads).
You cannot e.p. out of check in blitz
