En passant

Step 1 of 5

If an opponent’s pawn moves two squares from its starting square and lands right beside your pawn, you may capture it as if it had moved only one square. This is called en passant, French for “in passing”. The black pawn came from d7 to d5; the white pawn on e5 takes it by moving to d6. You may do this only on the very next move.
