En passant is a special pawn capture move in chess. It occurs when a pawn moves two squares forward from its starting position and lands beside an opponent's pawn. The opponent can capture the first pawn as if it had only moved one square forward. This move must be made immediately after the initial two-square advance, or the opportunity is lost.
