You can only capture a pawn En passant and only if the pawn moves 2 squares in 1 go.

- gamegoblin 12y agoPerhaps an en passant lead to a position in which the bishop could not avoid being captured. If not, OPs cousin is indeed wrong.
- Buttons840 12y agoYeah, my cousin thought if his pawn was on the 5th row he could capture any piece next to it by performing an "en passant". Of course, it wasn't a proper en passant, but the way he moved his pawn was the same, it's just he was capturing a bishop instead of another pawn.
