An opponent passed my pawn. In a normal board game I would have the option of taking his pawn and moving the capturing piece into the space if I had just taken it. However the move doesn't seem to be allowed. Help
Originally posted by PerpekaA passed pawn is a pawn with no opposing pawns to prevent it from advancing to the eighth rank.

yes indeed my memory is failing - en passant is correct. And if you can see my active game with elifer you will see he has moved his kings pawn one square past my pawn (not 2). Does not the en passant rule apply here as well?
