Hi davividal,

The link the way you pasted lead to the next game of who tried it.

Try copy the link with the "game.php?id=XXXXX" end.

Cheers,
Beco

Davi, you must be talking of this game:

http://queenalice.com/game.php?id=247600

You wanted to capture the pawn "en passant", but you can't do that because this isn't in fact a true "en passant" move. It would be only if the black pawn had done c7-c5.

From Wikipedia:
"En passant is possible when a player moves a pawn two squares forward from its starting position, and an opposing pawn could have captured it if it had only moved one square forward. In this situation, the opposing pawn may, on the immediately subsequent move, capture the pawn as if it had only moved one square forward; the resulting position would then be the same as if the pawn had only moved one square forward and the opposing pawn had captured normally."

Regards!

Sorry my mistake.

I forgot that the pawn was on c6. :-(O) :-D 8-)

I known what's En Passant and known WHEN I can and when is a good idea to do it.

I forgot it. Sorry.

Davi, with a rating higher than mine I was pretty sure you already knew it and had just forgotten. :-P
