Mild measures, such as police surveillance, are not sufficient. But since a pawn could now move two squares on its first move, it was easier to create a passed pawn.Ī passed pawn is a criminal which should be kept under lock and key. A passed pawn is an excellent advantage for the player who has it. When the pawn moves changed, however, the dynamics of the game also changed. To make games faster, people modified pawn moves: they could now jump two squares when leaving their home squares. In the olden times, pawns could move just one square at a time. The en passant move is closely related to another rule that was created centuries ago to make chess more interesting. The diagram below shows what the move 3.exd6 looks like: This is what 3. Note, though, that you should write down the square where the pawn has landed, not the one where the captured pawn was. The notation for an en passant capture is the same as any other pawn capture. To make these rules clear for you, take a look at the diagram below. Another instance where this capture is not allowed is when the enemy pawn lands right next to your pawn but only after making two moves. This type of capture cannot happen if the capturing pawn has already advanced four or more squares. If the player does not capture en passant on that turn, they no longer can do it later. The en passant capture must be performed on the turn immediately after the pawn being captured moves.The captured pawn must have moved two squares in one move, landing right next to the capturing pawn.The capturing pawn must have advanced exactly three ranks to perform this move.There are a few requirements for the move to be legal: You move your pawn diagonally to an adjacent square, one rank farther from where it had been, on the same file where the enemy's pawn is, and remove the opponent's pawn from the board. To perform this capture, you must take your opponent's pawn as if it had moved just one square. This type of capture is the only one in chess where the capturing piece doesn't land on the same square as its victim. With en passant, though, things are a little different. This is the regular way a pawn can capture another piece. It moves to the captured piece's square and replaces it. Pawns can usually capture only pieces that are directly and diagonally in front of them on an adjacent file. "En passant" is a French expression that translates to "in passing", which is precisely how this capture works. The en passant rule is a special pawn capturing move in chess. Make sure you know everything about this rule, so you don't get caught off guard! e4 e5 2.Nf3 f6 3.Nxe5 fxe5 4.Qh5+ Ke7 5.Qxe5+ Kf7 6.Bc4+ Kg6 7.Qf5+ Kh6 8.d4+ Qg5 9.En passant is one of those special chess rules that can surprise the less experienced players. In case if there is a promotion, first write on which square the promotion is, and the choice of the promoted piece is marked only at the end.įor example: d8Q means: On the d file, the Pawn reached the 8th rank and was promoted to Queen. We don't write the name of the Pawn, only where it moves to. This order only changes in case of Pawn moves. For example: Qd5 means: the Queen moves to the d file and to the 5th rank.Įxample: Rxf5 means: the Rook captures an enemy piece on the f file and on the 5th rank. The bottom left-hand corner is called a1 and it's a black square.įirst we write down the name of the piece that moves, that is the symbol of it, which is usually the first letter of the word. The ranks are marked by numbers from bottom to top: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
The vertical files are marked with 8 letters, from left to right: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, hģ. Write the symbol of the chess pieces with CAPITAL LETTERS: K, Q, R, B, NĢ.
