en passant en croissant

You know. I've played chess for like 30 years and I can't recall a single time someone has used en passant against me.

I feel like it's a rule made up by someone who didn't agree with the double step rule

"Oh, your pawn can do a double step? Well, my pawn can capture yours anyways!"

CHESS ON MY BREASTS

This seems a great input for an image ia generator 😂

Chess on a croissant?

google en passant

Oh I was just thinking chess, but not a specific move within chess.

You've strangely misspelled holy hell

I'm out of the loop, can someone catch me up on the holy hell thing?

En passant has always been the most obscure chess rule, in online chess it's often reported as cheating. Which resulted in a lot of people saying "google en passant", on an unkown lemmy clone someone realising it's an actual chess move replied, holy hell, and a meme was born.

This took me a couple seconds but I'm happy to report that once it clicked it got an out loud "oh my god" from me irl 🤦‍♀️

It got an out loud "holy hell" from me irl*

It got an out loud "new response just dropped" from me irl*

Does that make you an actual zombie irl too?

Chess on French pastry?

En passant on a croissant

Nice try, but that's definitely not it

Nope, he's right, it's a rather outdated move that I use to use in middle school to piss people off.

Google croissant

Fun fact: the French call it pastry from Vienna (viennoiserie)

I'm not sure if this counts, since all French just sounds to me like it rhymes with "croissant" ?

Where did the other white piece go?

Made up move-a on a media-luna.
