or if anyone here wants to type up a discourse that'd be cool too.

if you know of a book that you HIGHLY vouch for i guess ill drop the dough for it, but only if its the absolute shit

also you could go to your local library and if they don't have what you're looking for they can order it for you

It seems that 9 out of 10 chess players I have played over the years do not know about the En-Passant rule.




The Pawn can capture an opponent's pawn 'in passing' or 'en-passant' (since the French expression is commonly used here).
For the en-passant rule to apply, the following two conditions have to be met:
The previous opponent's move had to be made with a pawn that advanced 2 squares from its starting square
The pawn making an en-passant move could have captured an opponent's pawn if it had only advanced just 1 square instead of 2.
In the diagram on the left, en-passant move applies after White pawn moves from a2 to a4. The Black pawn captures the White Pawn on the a3 square.
