Just a thought...

If I would play in this game 10: .. c5, is my opponent able to capture en-passant?

I think 11.dc it´s a ilegal move because any piece can go to square c6 and if white could play en-passant then the white pawn would go to c6.
You suppose 11.dc is a legal move, then as consecuence black could play 11...bc and a black pawn could land in the square c6.
c6 is closed until the end of the game so 11.dc it´s, in my opinion, a ilegal move.

joshi tm: I would also think it would be illegal since C6 is an unavailable space for your opponent to finish there move.
