Originally posted by realotasyou mean the 16th, and it's called taking 'en passant'. look it up, and also make sure you know what's a 'stalemate', '3-move repetition' and '50-move rule' while you're at it. my guess is some of those might be new to you as well.
there's been an illegitimate move in one of my games! please how can i get this checked and corrected? please see move 17 on game 5806121.

We all had to learn sometime - some of us are still learning.
In the 1974 Karpov v Korchnoi match this position arose.
White (Korchnoi) to play.
Korchnoi went to the arbiter, Alberic O'Kelly, to ask if it was OK for
White to play 18.0-0 here. Korchnoi thought because the White Rook
was attacked then castling kingside may be illegal.
(Castling Kingside in this case IS permitted.)
The game continued 18.0-0 Bxc4 19.f4 1-0.
