The move "en passant" (meaning "in passing") can be made when one player's pawn moves two squares forwards onto a square directly adjacent an enemy pawn. The enemy pawn can now capture as if the first pawn had only moved one square, and then it is the first player's turn again.

How can a king capture another piece in chess?
A pawn captures another piece by moving diagonally one square forward to the square where the enemy piece is located. The pawn cannot capture a piece that is directly in front of it. Another way a pawn captures is under a special rule which applies only to another pawn. If White has a pawn on the 5th rank and Black moves a pawn one file over two spaces from the 7th rank to the 5th rank, the White pawn may capture the Black pawn even though the black pawn is now right beside it by moving one square diagonally forward right behind the Black pawn. This is called capturing "en passant"
Can a pawn jump 2 spaces in chess?
On a pawn's first move from its starting square, it may be moved either one or two spaces forward, providing there are no other pieces occupying either the square it reaches or the one it passes over.Pawns attack forward on the diagonal, so if it moves two spaces, it may "pass over" a space attacked by another pawn. If it does so, the opponent's pawn may capture it as if it had moved only one square, but only on that following move, never later. This is called a capture en passant or "in passing." The attacking pawn takes the pawn's pace on the first square, not the second.

What is en passant captures in chess?
En-passant in French means "in passing". When en-passant occurs is when a pawn is on its starting position and another pawn(playing black) is a knights position away from the white pawn. When the white pawn moves up 2 spaces the pawn runs through blacks spot where he can capture. On the next move black can choose to attack the pawn or to ignore it. En-passant can only be played after the immediate move. Black can not play en-passant on the move following that.
