damn man there are thousands of forums people confusing about en passent move

Isn’t it like cheating though? I played it at an otb tournament, and my opponent reported it to the arbiter. I was forced to forfeit the game, as well as the rest of the tournament, for blatant attempts at “cheating”

WHAT?! Bruh I couldn’t claim my $10 cash prize cuz of it

Hi remember me 1 a3

I've seen tournament directors make rulings that were frankly insane.

That move is 100% allowed and you should not be afraid to use it in your games. If someone reports it, stand your ground and defend yourself. Of course, this assumes you did the move correctly so make sure you know the ins-and-outs of when it is allowed and when it isn't.

For goodness sake, you would have thought that the one and only requirement of an arbiter would be to know the rules. 

I played hxg5 so it should be completely legal (He played g7-g4). This was at some tournament a few months ago

I'm a bit confused: "he played g7-g4" so he moved the pawn 3 squares? I assume you meant to write "he played g7-g5" and then you took with a pawn on h5, removing the pawn on g5 and placing your pawn on g6, which would be completely valid.

No, he played g7-g4 in an endgame. My pawn was on h5, so I moved it sideways and forwards so I played hxg5

My dude I think you completely misunderstood how en passant works  Firstly, it's only when a pawn takes a pawn, no other piece, so whatever piece moved 3 squares g7-g4, it was clearly not a pawn, therefore the en passant rule does not apply. Secondly, when you do en passant, the pawn takes one square forward diagonally, not to the side. This means your h5 pawn should have ended on the g6 square, if done correctly, in which case the notation would be: hxg6 (g6 refers to the position where the pawn ends up, not where it takes). Lastly, en passant is only against a pawn that moved 2 squares from its starting position and landed next to your pawn. If a piece lands on g4, that means it's on a row behind your h5 pawn, but en passant only works with a pawn landing on the same horizontal row where your pawn already is.

so, the pawn move 3 squares forward and i played hxg5!!

I played hxg5 here. there were some other pieces on the board, but you get the point

Pawns cannot move 3 squares forward... 

You can ONLY use the en passant rule if the black pawn has just used the special move of moving forward 2 squares from its starting position and you have a pawn next to it (for example, if you have a white pawn on h5 and the black pawn goes g7 -> g5, then you can do hxg6). However, in your example the only way the black pawn could end up on g4 square is by either making 2 moves (g7 -> g5 and then g5 -> g4) or 3 moves (g7 -> g6 -> g5 -> g4). In both of these cases you may no longer use the en passant rule.
