en passant

i write as someone who generally plays at about 1100 at the chess site i play at ( not here ).

i have noticed over the years, at the low level i do play at, how little en passant is played. many times i have noted that the other player had such an opportunity and failed to use it.

i play it just because i can and i wish to invoke a surprise since i figure the other player would have no idea that it could be present as a play opportunity.

in passing i wish to say "en passant".

HI mister-moggy,

If you like En Passant then your will love this. Eight of them in one game.

@mister-moggy

It's the opponent who claims En Passant on the capture.

@mister-moggy

Also, En Passant may lead to dangerous consequence's which may mitigate an out right refusal to perform the manoeuvre.
