What is another word for en passant?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛn pˈasənt] (IPA) 
"En passant" is a chess term used when a pawn captures an opposing pawn that has moved two squares forward from its starting position, landing next to the capturing pawn. The capturing pawn moves diagonally to the square that the pawn just passed over, and the captured pawn is removed from the board. There are several synonyms for "en passant," including the French phrase "in passing," the Italian "alla passant," and the Spanish "al paso." In addition, some chess players may refer to this move as a "sideways pawn capture" or a "special pawn capture," as it differs from a regular pawn capture.
