        In a STRICTLY humorous way, you have no idea how annoying it is,to play against someone whose losing a chess game,THEN,whip out the bs En Passant,&nobody played that move against me since I've been playing from age4-2018,little suspicious opponents try it,ONLY,when they're losing

        According to the pieces in this photo (after following the link) an En Passant didn't actually happen. Is Mueller a shit chess player?

        However it appears Mueller's opponent could have performed an En Passat on him. Black a2 pawn advances to square a5, white pawn to b5, black en Passant to b6, white Knight captures pawn at b6. Mueller gets pawn but erroneously claims en Passant. Shit player.

        Unless. Mueller sacrifices his white pawn to black's en Passant so that he can capture blacks pawn and set his Knight on a better square (although would be a retreat from c5) and then taunts his opponent by derisively saying "en Passant". Mueller's good.
