Parrots have different chess coach and peoples have different coach

May be I can help, because I know how pawns can maneuver lol.

You’re opponent pawn moves two squares up form their starting square and you’re pawn is now “shoulder to shoulder” you can diagonally capture that pawn but it has to be done immediately.

Its a cool capture but you have to factor and be deliberate if you can benefit from say opening up an attacking line.

chess.com explains it well under 'chess rules' via 'special moves' section just below explaining pawn promotions:

I think of it this way, whenever an opponent pawn moves two spaces forward then you can capture it as if that pawn only moved one space forward IF you play en passant right away. Otherwise, it is like the pawn already "passed" by you and you can no longer capture the pawn that has left.

In the 1500s pawns could only move one space and that was changed so that they can move two spaces at the start. En passant is the nerf to prevent pawns from being captured by another pawn by moving two squares. Imagine the opponent pawn not moving and you have placed a pawn to capture that pawn if it moved two squares. Instead the opponent moved two squares. On your next turn, you treat it as if the pawn moved one square and place your pawn where it would have been if the opponent moved that pawn one square and then you captured it.

- IF the opponent just moved a pawn 2 spaces, AND
- IF you could have captured it with your pawn, had it moved only 1 space
- THEN you can move your pawn to capture it, as if it had moved only 1 space.

It would be so funny if we rolled it back to one square for a pawn move. I would be replying go with c6 instead of c5! Haha the CK. The English c4 would be c3, weird.
