En Passant

En Passant is a rule that allows you to capture an opponents pawn that jumps 2 spaces from starting position to avoid being captured by your pawn if it had moved 1 space instead of 2.

En passant 2
Black Pawn, unable to make a single move forward, tries to jump past White Pawn to avoid Capture
En passant 3
En Passant takes effect and White Pawn captures Black Pawn

En Passant can only take effect during the turn after the opponent Pawn jumps 2 spaces. Once the turn is over, En Passant can’t be executed.
