on passant?

can you only do the on passant right when the opposite player has just moved their pawn, or does the priveledge to do the on passant remain until one pawn or the other moves on?

Perhaps the most obscure and least used moves in Chess is called En Passant. It can only occur when a player exercises his option to move his pawn two squares on its initial movement. When this happens, the opposing player has the option to take the moved pawn "en passant" as if it had only moved one square. This option, though, only stays open for one move.

The En passant capture must be done on the very next turn, or the right to do so is lost.

Hope that helps!

You must take the offered pawn with your first move after your opponent offers - You might click on "learn" and review "chess rules and basics" for this and anything else that might be a little obscure and not generally known to some players
