Hi, During my game id 7311655. I advanced my pawn 2 places on white move 36. The game log reflects this move. However my pawn is then impossibly taken by black pawn.
Where do i go from here - Should the game get cancelled??Game 7311655

Don't feel bad, I read once that Victor Korchnoi, at the time one of the top 5 players in the world, had to stand up from the board and ask the tournament director if it was a legal move to castle while his rook was attacked.

Hang your head in shame.
There's also a thing where you can move two pieces in one move, it's called castling, just so you know.
Mr Ice Cold - Can it really be? An American with a sense of humour albeit a sarcastic one.? Why thank you for your wit kind Sir! Much more of that old thing and i shall box your ears on the cobbles. However, there is some truth to your comment. I have played probably 2000 games over the last 5 years on various sites and have never seen that before. Back to playing Halo on my xbox360 - mindless shooting - far more simple and oh so less annoying.
I still am a tad dissapointed in that move as i think it is a kind of cheating. I wonder where and why it came about?

My humor is dry and dark. I just hope you got a chuckle out of it.
If we're lucky, Greenpawn will answer your question as to why en passant was made a rule. If not GP maybe one of the other more articulate posters will explain it. Or bring up a link to where the rule's history was explained.
