  En passant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
En passant (from French: "while [the pawn is] passing") is a maneuver in the board game of chess.
Historically, en passant is one of the last series of major rule changes in European chess that occurred in the 14th to 15th century, together with the introduction of the two-square first move for pawns, castling, and the unlimited range for queens and bishops.
The term en passant is sometimes used among medical personnel as a label for unexpected or accidental findings seen while performing diagnostics aimed at another ailment.

 Mark Lowery's Exciting World of Chess - En passant
White now optionally may do an en passant capture of Black's pawn at f5 by placing his or her pawn at e5 onto the f6 square, and removing White's pawn at f5 from the chessboard.
In chess notation, en passant capture is shown as if the capture had been made on the square it would have occurred if the pawn had not been advanced two squares.
The algebraic chess notation for the en passant capture would be exf6, although you also may see it noted with "en" or "en." either within or without parentheses: exf6en or exf6(en), or exf6en.
