According to Wikipedia, en passant describes the capture by a pawn of an enemy pawn on the same rank and an adjacent file that has just made an initial two-square advance.

According to dictionary.cambridge.org, adjancent means very near, next to, or touching

According to sync, the image is 0.02 MB.

Assuming lemmy.world stores images on floppy disks a diameter of 200mm that have a capacity of 80 kB, floppy disks store information on the entirety of their size, writing data from one side to the other and looping back to the other side when reaching the end of a row(i realized only after i did the math that floppy disks dont work like that) and i didnt make any mistakes in the math i am too lazy to explain in this reply, the distance between pieces is between 7 and 142 mm

142 mm, compared to the distance between stars, is a very short distance, meaning that, in this situation, the en passant is a legal move

the en passant is a legal move

Don't you even know the rules of chess? En passant is not just legal, it is forced.
