The rule only punishes players that use the 2-square move to "block" an advancing pawn. This is a very specific situation!
- dragontamer 4y ago> The rule only punishes players that use the 2-square move to "block" an advancing pawn I think you need to study En Passant a bit more. E2 to E4 is _not_ captured by the E5 black pawn, but instead by the D4 or F4 black pawn. The E-black pawn is meaningless in regards to the En Passant rule. All that matters is that E2 (original location of white pawn) "passes through E3" on its way to E4, so F4 and D4 black pawns have an opportunity to kill it.
