what is "en passavant" in chess?plz give as detailed answer as possible.?

Answer 1

the 'en passant' rule states that if you have a pawn that has advanced to its 5th rank (from your point of view), and your opponent moves a pawn in an adjacent file two squares on its first move (which is legal), you may capture the pawn that moved two spaces as if it had only moved one square on its first move.

for example, if you have a pawn on d5, and your oppent moves their c-pawn from c7 to c5 (remember, the c-pawn is in an adjacent file from your d-pawn), you may capture their c-pawn as if it had only moved from c7 to c6 (in other words, you can capture their c pawn as if it had only moved one square on its first move).

To make the capture in this case, you would actually move your pawn diagonally from d5 to c6, and remove your opponent's pawn from the c5 square where it tried to move.

The thing to keep in mind is that, if you do decide to capture your opponent's pawn via the 'en passant' rule, you MUST do it on your VERY NEXT move, IMMEDIATELY after their pawn 'passed' your pawn... otherwise you lose that privilege to take THAT pawn in this manner... however, if another en passant situation occurs, you again have the same option, to capture the pawn as if it only moved one square...

And again, this rule comes into effect ONLY when a pawn reaches its FIFTH rank, and an enemy pawn in an adjacent file moves TWO squares on its first move.

But in a single game, the en passant rule can come into play as many times as this situation occurs.

In this explanation, when it refers to the fifth rank, it refers to the 5th row from the player, according to THAT player's point of view (your fifth rank is actaully your opponent's fourth rank, and vice versa).

Answer 2

Pawn capture. Here goes...
Normally - pawn moves up 1 space diagonally to capture any opponent.

en passant - Player 1 moves any pawn forward 2 spaces on that pawns first move. Player 2 moves the corresponding (directly across) pawn 2 spaces on that pawns first move. Player 1 then moves his pawn diagonally onto an empty space to capture Player 2 pawn.

NOTES: This rule is only in effect for pawns that reached the middle by the 2 spaces on the first move. This rule is only an option immediately following Player 2 moving his pawn. (Player 2 moves pawn, en passant , Player 2, Player 1 OR Player 2 moves pawn, Player 1, Player2, Player1)

Answer 3

It is a French phrase meaning " In Passing " It basically is a rule to block an opponent from moving a pawn two spaces on its first move to avoid capture by an enemy pawn. The player who is passed gets to decide if they want to take the pawn or let it pass. If they take it, they must take it as if it only moved the one square, and capture and move their pawn to that square. Check out other non english chess terms like " zugzwang "

Answer 4

That is a move where a pawn is allowed to move to the side to capture an opposing pawn that has moved next to it on the board.

Answer 5

If you have a pawn that has advanced quite a ways, and your opponent moves his pawn two spaces forward, putting it right next to yours, you may move diagonally forward, moving behind his pawn, and remove it from the board.
