There is a move in Chess that i believe wasn't put in there. It's where 2 pawns are right next to each other and one goes diagnolly behind the other and takes their pawn. I'm pretty sure its a legal move cause i saw it in a how to play chess book while i was younger and i beleive the move was called the Le Pont.I wasn't sure where to post this so i posted it here.

Basically, when a pawn elects to move 2 spaces when it had the opportunity to take a pawn, the pawn that was spared can perform En Passant and take the original pawn by moving diagonally into its starting position.

I did code in the enpassant move, so hopefully it still works. Admittedly I haven't tested it in a while. It's on the docket... |
Good catch! I think the move is called "en passant".
