If a pawn moved 2 spaces in such way that an enemy pawn could take if it had only moved 1 space, it can still take like if it only moved one space; This is called En Passant. En Passant can only be preformed the turn right after the pawn moved those 2 spaces.That's everything. Thank you for your time.
