A friend of mine I played OTB a while ago (estimate equivalent rating around 1100 on here) tried some very weird "en passant" variant (I can't remember the details of the move). I questioned him about it and he said it was an official move in chess told by another friend of his which is accepted by the international chess federation.
I have a feeling he saw "en passant" played on him before and remembered it incorrectly. Because it is such an obscure move (to low rated players), he probably believed that I hadn't heard of it before.
Of course, I hadn't heard of *his* version of the move before.
