chess daft question

[SamJB]

me and my dad have been arguing can you take two pieces in the save move at chess e.g if you take a pawn with your queen in the same move can your queen take another piece

[jenstar]

Blimey, how are you playing chess? No, you can't. If the queen takes a piece, she stops on the square that the taken piece occupied. Same for any piece taking another piece.

[SamJB]

Your sarcasm is much appreciated thanks!!!1

Jenstar has correctly answered your question regarding a Queen taking a Pawn but I'm still slightly worried about the way that Jenstar plays chess. If he/she states that the piece carrying out the capture always finishes on the square occupied by the captured piece, it seems that Jenstar is playing a version of chess which doesn't include the 'en passant' rule ;-)

Come on Chris, you'll be telling us next, you can't huff in chess either. Honestly!!!!!!!!!!

[jenstar]

Ah, true. Should have made an exception for en passant. Touche! As we say in chess... :-)
