En Passant
There is a unique chess rule which involves a special move in chess that many casual players are not aware
of, the rule is called "en passant". This move involves only pawns and the situation for en passant may or
may not occur during a game. But if it does, it's good to know the rule and how to execute the move
properly. En passant is limited to a pawn moving from it's original position 2 squares landing adjacent to an
opponent’s pawn. On the very next move and only the next move, this pawn can be captured as illustrated
below:
