There is a soldier marching into your area, but you rush past him on a horse (2 moves from where you were)
As you go past this invading pawn, he's got the option to cut your off your horse if you don't stand to battle with him. He's also got the option to let you pass, if he doesn't want to do battle.
That is a simple explanation to the en passant rule.

See? It's very straightforward.

and it's not straightforward at all...it's diagonal 😉

Reassess Your Chess has already been mentioned, or I would recommend it

The post that was quoted here has been removedYou are right, but they don't dash past, there is actually a twirly slide coming out of each sides base and the pawn can jump on the slide and move a space for free, but if there is another pawn there, he can pull out his bow and pick off the sliding pawn.

It is spelt en-passant. An example:
Black has just played f7-f5. Because White's pawn is sideways on on e5, it has the choice of taking the pawn as if it had moved to f6. This is notated as e*f6. The pawn on e5 moves to f6 and you remove the Black pawn on f5. Simple.
One word of caution: You may only use the en-passant rule the move after the pawn moves two squares. So for example, if you played the move Ke2 and Black played Ke7, then you could no longer play en-passant.
I hope that helped.
