In Chess, en passant is a special move that allows a pawn to capture an opponent's pawn that has just moved two squares forward from its starting position. To perform en passant, move your pawn diagonally to the square where the opponent's pawn would have landed if it had moved only one square forward. This move can only be done immediately after the opponent's pawn makes the two-square move.
