Passant

If White has a pawn on e5 and Black plays his pawn from d7 to d5, the white pawn can take the black pawn, removing it from the board and occupying d6, as if the black pawn were there. This is called taking "en passant".

The white pawn took the black pawn "en passant".

The “en passant” seizure can only be performed in the movement immediately after that in which a pawn attempts to pass a square controlled by the opponent. If it doesn't happen then, it can't be done later.

The "en passant" capture is a peculiarity of the pawn movement. No other chess piece can do anything like that.

En passant is a special type of pawn move in chess.
