en passant, but their pawn took my knight
Sort:
I feel like I’ve seen this a few times now where a pawn captures a knight with en passant, but I thought it was only pawns that can be captured. Everywhere I’ve read states that it’s only done with pawns. Is this a glitch? Or is there a rule I’m missing?

Only pawns can be captured en passant. It's specifically a rule in response to the the initial two-step move of a pawn past the opponent's pawn on its fifth rank.
That’s what I thought. So my knight should have never been captured that way. It must be a glitch then

That absolutely shouldn't be possible here. Do you have a link to the game?

Update: It’s like the game where it happened yesterday has disappeared. I remember the opponent sending a weird message after making the move so I checked all of my games to see if I can at least find the one with a message that had a bunch of exclamation points, question marks and other symbols and it’s gone… if anyone else ever had this happen let me know
