The motivation for en passant is to prevent the newly-added two-square first move for pawns from allowing them to evade capture by an enemy pawn.

Please allow me to elaborate.

When the game was speeded up in the 15th century the pawn
was given a choice of making a two move leap on it's first move.

Games were going 1.e3 e6. 2.e4 e5 etc so the leap was introduced.

But the tactic of having a pawn on the 5th rank holding back unmoved
pawns was part of endgame lore so the enpassant rule was added.

I find it amazing that you have made a grade of 1372 without
knowing the rules of the game.
It's a good thing no ep. captures have appeared in your games.

I am also struck by the sheer coincidence between this post and this
one Thread 94188.

There the players name was 'Learn Chess' and he did not know the rules.
Your name is 'Chess Addiction' and neither , apparently, did you.

Never play E.P. in a pub game against a stranger

I am really impressed with ur knowledge and ur sense of analysing things esp. the link between the "Same Question" and "Alike Names" that hints for multi accounts.Great!

Why dont u change ur name to "Red Detactive" and join some intellegenct agency like CIA in USA?

Horrific! It 's the first time I see an Albin with 4.e3? instead of 4.Nf3;

A classic that I've only ever seen in the notes to games or
in books on traps.

I'll use this in a future C.C.

Seeing somone caught in a trap like this really cheers me up.

It's like hearing a old joke. It's how you tell em.

Cheers Korch.

Oh! But who would play an Albin with 4.e3?
Maybe I am surprised because I have no books regarding traps;
