Which of the following is true about "en passant" in chess?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Must be done immediately after the pawn moves two squares.

In chess, en passant is a special pawn capture that occurs when a player moves a pawn two squares forward from its starting position. If an opponent's pawn could have captured it had it only moved one square, the opponent can take it "in passing."
