Pawns Moves
Pawns are the smallest pieces in the game of chess and are
represented by small cylindrical pieces. Each player starts with eight
pawns that are positioned on the second row of the chessboard in
front of the other pieces
En Passant Capture
The en passant rule is a special pawn capturing move in chess. "En passant"
is a French expression that translates to "in passing", which is precisely how
this capture works.
Pawns can usually capture only pieces that are directly and diagonally in front
of them on an adjacent file. It moves to the captured piece's square and
replaces it.
