Over the board :)
@Nordlandia yeah, and no matter how you explain it, you will always look like a nitpick ... playing chess against beginners is unfun :-)
Ya once i unpasdent that pawn and the guy got so angry that he threw the chessboard he got disqualified in the toury i got full 2 points hege
It's exactly that sort of position which made en passant necessary... otherwise the double pawn-push is ridiculously strong in endgames.
Wow, there are still people who see en passant and think it's a bug XD
There are new ones every year, lol!
No need to lol. I'm pretty sure, many of us (inkluding myself) have played their first years of chess without knowing en-passant.
My one-two step method.
Sprinting pawns: On the first step the pawn can still be captured by an opponent pawn that was waiting for that pawn to move forward. Only works amongst pawns that start sprinting forward from their initial position.
Each pieces has their own one-two step method.
Knights: A knight does the one-two step method too. It starts on one colour and does one step between colours and on the second step lands on a different colour. This is why it cannot be directly blocked while moving. It jumps between squares not over pieces.
Castling: The king does the one-two set method too. It's good for the long or short castling manoeuvre. The king steps two squares left or right and must not be attacked during the manoeuvre, so that the rook can be immediately transferred around the king's opposite shoulder.
Fianchetto: Bishops are freed by a delay in the one-two step method. A pawn moves one square forward so that on the next turn, the bishop can fill the space beneath the pawn that had moved.
Batteries mutually defend each other. That two takes at least two moves to create.
In conclusion, be proactive and think twice before acting.

That's not a bug, it's chess rules!
"white left the game" Don't do that!
