    How the en passant joke started

    The “Google en passant. Holy hell” meme came from a Reddit post of OP accusing their opponent of cheating when in fact it was just an en passant move by the pawn. A user then responded with “Google en passant” and afterwards OP replied back with “Holy hell”. Both comments became a joke within the chess community and is often copy pasted with the the context changed.

    I’m playing against a cheater AI on chess.com

    I had my pawn at f4 and his pawn was e4. So one next to the other.

    His next move he moved the pawn to f3 and f4 pawn was gone.

    I got images but don’t know how to post them.
