Czuch Chuckers: Your opponents move is called "en passant", is abbreviated e.p., and basically is French for "I pass you" which is what his pawn has just done.

You can read the particluar rule at http://brainking.com/en/GameRules?tp=1&fwa=ShowGame!g=1560943$i=21 about 4/5th of the way down the page (or just search for "en passant".

This is not a "bug".

WhisperzQ: Do you mind a small correction of your translation? En passant means 'in passing." I pass you would be "Je te passe." And we should point out to new players that capturing "en passant" is unusual in chess because it must be done immediately after the opposing pawn completes its move- otherwise the chance to capture that pawn "en passant" is lost. Thanks!

DragonKing: Your welcome, thanks ... and yes,it is important to add that it must be the next immediate move.
