hi here is the way, For you to capture en passant your opponent's pawn MUST move two squares forward, landing next to your pawn. That means they had to move a pawn that has not moved, as pawns can only move two squares on their first turn. The c2-pawn advanced two squares next to the b4-pawn.Mar 19, 2019

made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?"

Here's exactly how it works. The last post is close, but not quite.

Let's say you have a pawn on g5. Let's say your opponent has a pawn on f7. He moves it to f5 when it's his turn. En passant applies, but only for this turn. You would write it like gxf6. The f5 pawn is captured by the g5 pawn, but the g5 pawn ends up on f6, as if your opponent moved it to f6 in the first place, not f5.
It's a little bit confusing, but remember that you must do it immediately. If you wait for even one turn, en passant doesn't apply anymore.
