If a black pawn is on (say) e3 and I move my white pawn from f2 to f4, can he take me en-passant?

If there is a black pawn on e3, an e.p. move is impossible.
If there is a black pawn on e4 and white moves f2-f4, then it can be followed with e4xf3 e.p.
If white moves another piece, then he cannot do an e.p. in the next move, it must be captures with an e.p. immediately.

A pawn on e3 cannot capture en passant.
Only white pawns on the 5th and black pawns on the 4th rank can capture en passant.

Wiki explains it well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant

Darn. So I didn't even know it 😳 Forgot about the 5th and 4th rank prerequisites.

This is the fourhundred-fiftieth thread on e.p. in the history of the internet. What is it that makes this part of the rules of chess so intriguingly hard to understand? 😕

you could tell someone it's the first page that appears on a google search and they would still ask you the exact link. give them the exact link and they would still ask you to verify the content (probably without having read it). they wouldn't copy and paste 3 words to google but open up a thread about it. Thanks to god there's the internet or I suspect they would track people down to ask these type of questions. it's all about the "human touch."
