    I don’t get it, can’t black just move the king?

    Edit:

    OK, so I looked it up, en passant means that if a pawn has just moved 2 spaces and landed next to an enemy pawn, the enemy pawn can move to take the first pawn by moving behind it instead of into the current occupied square. That’s news to me and I can’t believe this isn’t used more often.

    That and I mixed up the king and queen because my set had the butt crown on the queen.

      White can trade its bishop for the black queen. It’s a good move but a significant loss too, thus the meme below. At least that’s how I read that

        Look at the title. White can also perform En Passant, which in this situation would be worse than taking Blacks Queen.

      It’s Whites turn. The obvious move would be Bishop takes Queen. However as Blacks Pawn performed a double move, Whites Pawn also can perform a En Passant and take the Pawn. For The memes.
