En passant tactic

These puzzles use the en passant capture. A pawn that has just moved two squares can be captured by an enemy pawn as if it had moved one square, and only on the next move.

En passant can open a file, remove a defender, or deliver a discovered check. The rules page shows the capture on a board.
