Black just pushed the d-pawn two squares, landing beside your pawn. For ONE move only, you may capture it "in passing" as if it had moved one square. Take it!
En passant! Your pawn captured on d6 even though the black pawn stood on d5. Use it or lose it — the right expires immediately.
The position, then the answer.
