Theres a small part of the En Passant rule slash idea that I've always wondered about. Obviously when a pawn takes the double move forward it can be captured by an adjacent pawn as if it had only move once. One the original pawn moves again it can no longer be taken via en passant.
What I wonder about is; is there a statute of limitations on the en passant. That is, on move 1 I could play 1. e4 Then on move 50 could my opponent play 50 ... dxe3 ep. Or does it run out after the first move of EPness.
And that being said, could you fool your opponent OTB, much like Greenpawn said he did in one (un)fortunate game he had with castling.
