En passant is a rule in Chess to prevent a player from avoiding capture by moving a pawn two squares forward from its starting position, thus bypassing an opponent's pawn that could have captured it if it had only moved one square forward. This rule helps maintain the balance and fairness of the game by ensuring that players cannot exploit a loophole to protect their pawns from capture.
