minus-squareHnery@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 month agoNot sure if I understood everything correctly, could someone with more knowledge elaborate? what I see: black pawn hasn’t moved yet, able to do 2 steps black currently in check, pawn will resolve this. any move white makes after, will make them lose at least bishop and rook? then checkmate white? EDIT: i think i forgot something on the way

minus-squareSparroHawc@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoSorry, I was commenting about one step earlier - checkmate happens the moment en passant is played, because black’s F pawn is gone and white’s E pawn is now at F6, leaving the path open for the bishop.

minus-squareRunningTowardTheVoid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoSparroHawc is correct. En passant captures the opposing pawn, opening bishop’s path to G6.
