This is pretty much the exact visual I used to learn this rule. I would picture a pawn dashing excitedly into battle (by moving 2 squares instead of 1) But the enemy pawn is prepared since they've been in battle for a while already, so they cut down the newbie the same way as if they had entered the battle normally (by moving 1 square).
My friend used this on me and I was super confused and he didn't really explain it either. But we were playing digitaly so at Ieast I knew it was a legal move.
Secret rule my ass! I knew about this rule when I started playing chess as 8 year old. The chess my dad had bought for me had a very small booklet of rule but had every rules in them. I didnt even know English well enough at the time, and learnt all that with basic understanding of english and with help of diagrams in the booklet. And, yes! I used to play these moves as 8-9 year old like Castling, en Passant, etc. and my much elder opponents having no idea about the rule used to make fuss and I used to show them the rule from the booklet I would carry with my chess set. :)
As an Asian, all European language pronunciations like English, Français, Deutsch all sound stupid and inconsistent and sounds like you're trying too hard to make your language sounds lovely
@@brrrrrr i dont speak chinese but i know their pronunciations despite hard for a western tongue, very consistent. if its characters spell out "chong" it be chong no matter what context, and words that end with "ong" will have the exact same sound no matter what context.
I heard somewhere that the move was specifically created so that the two pawns don't just walk pass each other and pretend they like they are not just trying to kill each other
@@w花b castling is widely accepted even by beginners weirdly enough, maybe it's a mechanic that every chess player know and teach to beginners, but this move rarely ever gets brought up
@@DipShitIdiotthis is because castling is a far easier move to explain and learn, and has many practical and strategic uses in the board and not limited to a very specific condition for such move to be legally done. Unlike en passant which the likelyhood of such conditions for it to be legally played is already very low, but also doesnt really give you much of an edge as it only works with pawns and in those very few times it is possible, it is often a bad move by comprimising your pawn structure.
@@charlestonianbuilder344 It is always the player making the double step move "offering" en passant. I feel like the opponent offering a pawn via en passant is always a trap - even if the trap is that you think it is a trap to take the pawn. You can't force en passent to capture an enemy pawn, it is always the enemy doing the double step move next to your pawn; unless it is a chess puzzle that double step move is the only available move to get out of a check.
Yep, it's only secret to those who haven't read the rules of chess. It used to be that pawns could only move one square forward even in the opening. So when the two square move was introduced to speed up the game, it could be used to escape capture from an enemy pawn on your fourth rank. So "en passant" (in passing) was brought in to cover that loophole.
I was reviewing one of my chess games and the computer showed me the best statistical move and it was an en passant, I had no idea, i thought it bugged out
You just know that this move was 100% made up on the spot by someone hundreds of years ago, but because they did it once they had to keep pretending it was a real move
Not true. This isn't checkers where you legally have to capture any time you can. You can abstain from capturing en passant if convenient for you. You can opt to move a different piece, or you can opt to bypass the pawn instead. You just lose your opportunity to capture in this style, if you opt not to capture en passant when you have the opportunity.
The happiness on levy's face when he says en passant is oddly wholesome
The only French he can pronounce correctly
Saying it fills him with immeasurable joy
My grandpa always do it to me i keep forgetting its a thing
@@listey well I'm french and his pronunciation is horrible for me lmao
This is my fav move to talk about when playing with others when they do know about it
En passant is like an anime move where two samurais run towards each other and one samurai manages to slash the other while passing by on the side.
Accurate af
exactly how it feels

en passant is in french and it means in passing
@@Haskier yeah it’s obviously french but he was just saying what it felt like, and it’s accurate
I remember discovering this move when I was playing chess in a pc, it really felt like sacred knowledge
Same
Agreed
The likes 👀
And then when i used it in a junior chess tournament i got called a cheater and the teacher had to explain the rule to the other kid 😂
It felt like computer is cheating.
I used this move many times and I can't get enough of their reaction saying "you just made that up!"🤣
Always hilarious

😂always happens 😂
bro one question if white moves one move not from starting but the second can we still en passant
@@tanmoydhar3544 That’s what the French call “non passant”.
Literally stood up and left because I tried to do this move while on deployment and the entire room thought I was making up rules.

I forgot the name so I called it the baguette move because I only remembered it was French 💀
En croissant
Funny because "en croisant" with one s means "crossing" and would have been so accurate
The baguette move is so chad like ngl
it's really good when the pawn makes a fork and your pawn is next to it but the other pawn needs to move 2 squares
as a french person, your pronunciation of "en passant" is the best ive heard so far
Agree
Better than a French person? 💀
@@jaideepshekhar4621 not that good but indeed it was great for an anglophone
Which chess app does he use
On est d'accord c'est hilarant 🤣
I remember using this move online and the guy in the chat was "WHAAAAATTTTTT?" He said he didn't know this was possible. 😂
Its a glitch

There is another move regarding En passant, you always have to take an en passant.
yeah even if you are you in mate En passant is legal
@@staroboom4880 exactly, people dont know this sadly 😭
@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive Its a joke.

How to pronounce correctly, in both American English and French🧐?

That explains why I lost my pawn in a weird way
the secret to en passant is that anish makes the pawn dissapear
Normal people: En Passant
Me: *ON CROISSANT*
💀
ON BUGATTE
I heard somewhere that the move was specifically created so that the two pawns don't just walk pass each other and pretend they like they are not just trying to kill each other
It’s like killing the pawn while it’s moving
I’m waiting for il Vaticano now
r/anarchychess spotted
Holy hell
I'm more of a queen beta decay kinda player
Nobody believed me that day when I captured their pawn like that..
one of the only two special moves
this kept happening to me and I thought it was bugged💀
X2
me too
Me too
BROOOOO the AI definitely hit me with one of these and I was so confused how my pawn was captured
the fact he just has stereotypically french music in the background the whole time is hilarious
Its called "On Pason"
holy hell
edit: i wrote this comment and sorted by new and i see a carbon copy except it was written 1 minute before
A wild chess anarchist appears
bro i knew this rule and no one believed me, i wanna prove my friends wrong.
I played against a family member earlier and they INSISTED en passant isn't real lmao
Me has mate in one
Also me
EN PASSENT
Yeah.I had already knew that but thank for inspiring this rule🤗
My Grandpa taught chess to me when I was 7.I miss him so much😢.
gg
Your grandpa sounds like wonderful man. I'm going to teach chess to my granddaughters, they're 8 & 10, thank you for the inspiration.
It was created because the pawn never had the chance to take the pawn despite it blocking its path
Holy Hell!
New response just dropped
BTW "en passant" is French and means something like "passing by" or "as you go". Cheers!
Why does levy keep calling me a peasant
I thought my friend was bullshitting me but this is a real thing? I threw the board at him bruh
people have accused me of cheating when i would use this move
Not just with the pawns though, if a pawn uses that two square move any piece can do an en passant
Me who watched the chess tutorial in the chess app: First Time?
Here in the Philippines we call it pass pawn and it always causes arguments when I do that shit that it's not even worth it to do them anymore lmao
By that logic you can't castle either because it doesn't behave normally.

yes broo hahaha , it is indeed pass pawn here xD
It is also compulsory to make the en passant move if possible.
I know it is when a pawn moves 2 squares and it's next to a pawn so the pawn next to it can kill it
Fun fact, "En passant" could be translated by "while passing"
it is actually "in passing"
I've seen this move in watchdogs and thought it was a glitch.
I’m 350 elo right now and I did en passant once because I learned it in a short. My opponent resigned after 10 seconds of gruelling thinking
“Ohhh so that’s what it means,this guy didn’t call me a peasant after all”👴🏻
Did I really thought it was en croissant💀
“En Peasant”
The secrent rule: If you beat Magnus Carlsen you get EmOtionAl DamaGe for all of eternity

When I've seen it in my game for the first time i thought he was a hacker
Bro en peasant is my signature move
En tant que français je peux vous dire qu'il prononce particulièrement bien le nom. Baguette baguette
imagine someone actually uses this on a chess tournament
That's the reason my pawn got taken and I was confused how he took my pawn like this
Holy hell
I was reviewing one of my chess games and the computer showed me the best statistical move and it was an en passant, I had no idea, i thought it bugged out
Pawn 1: heyyyy bro just gonna stand beside you
Pawn 2: nope
The perfect loop doesnt exi-
the most unoriginal and unfunny comment doesn't exist
No
En Passant is fr the best move, u can't resist it.
Doctor: french gothamchess is Not real, it cant hurt you
French gothamchess:
"I'm only human, after all"
That's why I was confused when my enemy captured my pawn when they were side by side
Someone did that on me, I was like "HACKER!!!!"
This is because when the pawn moves 3 squares and then 2 squares the pawn can pass so that makes it unfair so that’s how en passant got inveted
levi never fails to en passants
en passant is actually “in passing” in french
I have known about En Passant for years, but I lost a game last night because I forgot it. I was fuming.
The meaning of En Passant is 'while moving'
Did you just call me an pessant
Me when i already knows the rule:
Isn't that just funny
I've done this and the other day some guy tried to bait me into en passant
i know that rule , i named it dead square
You just know that this move was 100% made up on the spot by someone hundreds of years ago, but because they did it once they had to keep pretending it was a real move
I actually wanted to do this once but my my opponent accused me of cheating and making it up.
My dad taught me this and I’m happy that he’s teaching people this because I thought chess masters might hate keep,it
is it a secret, they taught that to me on the first day.
en passant for "on passing"
En passant, my teachers were confused so i showed them this vid.
I thought my game bug but it was just 3n Passant
When I first found out I thought it was a glitch in my game🤣
I always think of it as the pawn sticking out its leg and tripping over the other pawn
That other day I was playing chess with my friend, he used the en passault. I was like since when was that a move.
If it ever comes up in a game. You legally have to do it.
Not true. This isn't checkers where you legally have to capture any time you can.
You can abstain from capturing en passant if convenient for you. You can opt to move a different piece, or you can opt to bypass the pawn instead.
You just lose your opportunity to capture in this style, if you opt not to capture en passant when you have the opportunity.
@@carultchit's a meme bro
I remember i discovered this move by accident when ai played it against me and i thought it was a glitch.😂
now I will not forgot the name.
Damn I once played this and thought "tf..."
The first time I ever saw this I reset my phone 😭
Yes that happens for my brother but in 3 move in play
I did this recently and all of my friends said it is illegal
There is an unspoken rule un chess, if you have to chose between winning or en passant....you take the en passan
Is levy talking to a wall? I THINK EVRYIBE
did this to my cousin once, the look on his face was pricelss
I once got a great move en passant
It's French for "In passing".
Dude I learned about this last year and have been called a cheater multiple times
Thanks I was confused about this.
Just happened in my game today
Pawns have 3 special moves, don't piss off the janitor!
Levy: En Passant
