pawn glitch
Sort:
so this has happened to me several times. just happened in the last game I played. near the end of the game after I traded rooks. I decided to move my pawn up two spaces to be right beside his pawn. But his pawn was still able to move on an angle and take my pawn moving to a spot my pawn wasn't even in. don't understand how it happened but even when I do a self analysis it shows that his pawn is allowed to move forward to go past my pawn or take my pawn and go to the square where my pawn isn't even positioned. maybe it's just me and I don't know how to play but I'm pretty sure a pawn can't take sideways yet move on an angle.
It happened to me as well, I hope it will be fixed soon... Lots of people are abusing the glitch right now and I have almost lost because of it. The people abusing it need to be banned.

It's happened to me, at tournaments. The arbiter must've been bribed because he tried to fob some en passant rule off on me. Jerks!
Dam those legal moves
Read up on 'en passant'.

Cheating should never be tolerated on chess.com, especially when it is as blatant as it is in this case.
From Wikipedia:
En passant (from French: in passing) is a move in chess.[1] It is a special pawn capture, that can only occur immediately after a pawn moves two ranks forward from its starting position and an enemy pawn could have captured it had the pawn moved only one square forward (the capturing pawn must be on its fifth rank prior to executing this maneuver). The opponent captures the just-moved pawn "as it passes" through the first square. The resulting position is the same as if the pawn had moved only one square forward and the enemy pawn had captured it normally.
The en passant capture must be made at the very next turn or the right to do so is lost.[2] It is the only occasion in chess in which a piece is captured but is not replaced on its square by the capturing piece. Like any other move, if an en passant capture is the only legal move available, it must be made. En passant capture is a common theme in chess compositions.
The en passant capture rule was added in the 15th century when the rule that gave pawns an initial double-step move was introduced. It prevents a pawn from using the two-square advance to pass an adjacent enemy pawn without the risk of being captured.

it's a rule called en passant.

My opponents even sometimes manage to move two pieces at once. I had a game yesterday where my opponent somehow moved his king and his rook at the same time, and his king moved by 2 squares, which kings legally can't do. Please fix!

As of late cheating is becoming an epidemic around here, and people are constantly finding new and weird ways to cheat. The staff must address this problem immediately, or risk losing all credibility.
That's also a legal move 0-0
Will someone please explain sarcasm!

Happens to me all of the time as well. It needs to be fixed.

OK Mr.Einstien if that be the case hows come I have never heard of it before???? Hmmm. Could you please explain that one to me?
Look up any old master game and you'll see castling.
Yeah, this is all a legal chess move. Google it. Seriously. I leaned it when I first played chess.

Guys they are just trolling for fun, someone pretends not to know the thing and someone catches on and adds to it etc
Oh, sorry. I always fall for these.....
What makes me wonder is whether the person who created this post was trolling or not.

Oh... so that's the term people use in chess for cheating?
