I was miss reading the playfield *g*

I dont think he was complaining about the white pawns move, but rather the black pawn that removes the white pawn and moves diagonally onto an empty squre. The move is know as En Passant.

Its explained here too:

Wow... I wish I understood chess. I'm going to learn I think, is there a Windows program which teaches or do I have to grovel and ask my girlfriend? (I dismissed her claims to be a world beating Chess lord the other day)

shouldn't you learn how to play a game before you start playing it?

Ideally, yes. Thats why I'd like to learn before I start playing it! :roll: 😃

Omar_g, there must be some resources on the net that'll teach you how to play. Don't let your girlfriend teach you! That would be bbbbaaaaaddddd.

Woow, so this is something completely new for me. I'm sometimes playing chess for fun, but I have never seen this move. Thanks for improvment of my chess knowledge.
