To me it's very simple... En passant is 2 moves, not one.. White can chose to not capture Black's pawn. in fact , he *has* to chose to not do that, since White is in check after Black's move

Have you a definitive answer? I'm inclined to say that black wins, but I could pretty easily be convinced.


I think it depends on who's stronger physically, how much money is involved, etc .... All things being equal, I agree that black wins. unless I'm playing white

Futility Closet, where I saw it first, has some great puzzles from time to time. A wonderful waste of time.

Gee, the first entry is about my home town, Wilkinsburg, PA. I never knew it was famous for anything.

It might be famous for a lot of things that are discussed in old newspapers buried in that time capsule.
