You know. I've played chess for like 30 years and I can't recall a single time someone has used en passant against me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I feel like it's a rule made up by someone who didn't agree with the double step rule

"Oh, your pawn can do a double step? Well, my pawn can capture yours anyways!"

Oh I was just thinking chess, but not a specific move within chess.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You've strangely misspelled holy hell

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm out of the loop, can someone catch me up on the holy hell thing?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

En passant has always been the most obscure chess rule, in online chess it's often reported as cheating. Which resulted in a lot of people saying "google en passant", on an unkown lemmy clone someone realising it's an actual chess move replied, holy hell, and a meme was born.

bxa3 on a pastry

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

I'm not sure if this counts, since all French just sounds to me like it rhymes with "croissant" ?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Holy pastry!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Where did the other white piece go?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Google en-passant

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I'm not gonna say the thing, but I did google it and learned something I didn't know.
