Hi there,

I'm not a chess expert, but isn't that an "en passant" capture? The game rules here at PM have a description of en passant (literally from the French, "in passing"), or here's a link to one on an outside site.

Hope this helps,

T.J,

Thank you for the explanation. I've played chess for 30 years and have never been aware of this rule. A painful lesson :-)

No worries. And you're not the only one who's managed not to hear about this rule, believe me. :-)
