Isn't there a game called Ultimate En Passant Chess, where everything can en passant (almost) everything. Also, since the knights jump over squares and doesn’t actually pass through them, then the knight shouldn't be able to be captured en passant.
That's just the classroom function on the site (it allows you to edit the boardstate to better teach), and he manually edits the board to follow the rules.
why does it apply to knights? they jump, they dont pass through any squares. you wouldnt be able to capture them had they landed a bit earlier because they cant land any earlier at all
Great stuff! Rules interpretation question: 2:15 since your bishop captured his bishop before getting en-passanted by the knight, doesn't your opponent's bishop return to the game? Because effectively your bishop was captured before it reached the square to capture his bishop
@@bobbobert9379 It can mean that, in real life the person is getting captured as he tries to run all the way to his destination. So the en passant capture is intercepting his movement before he gets all the way there. In this case, his movement towards the enemy bishop to capture it
Yeah, there are definitely some conflicting rules. I think the most accurate interpretation would be like you described, but it would be pretty complicated to play lol
I think this would be interesting with much much more experience. The piece values would be completely different. Like you weren't willing to trade a queen and a rook, but their value might be nearly the same.
For added wildness: If an en passant is en passanted, the first piece that was captured should be uncaptured, but if the tier 2 en passant is itself en passanted, than the original captured piece is also removed
I think the knights should get a free pass. Because they jump, they don't actually pass through squares and you can't block them. On top of that, it's ambiguous anyway which path the knight took, which is why i think they were allowed to jump in the first place.
