How Pawns Capture in Chess

Hi I'm Jitin Tuli on behalf of expertvillage.com and now I'm going to tell you about how does the pawn move in capture. When a pawn reaches the last rank it becomes another piece in the most situation if it becomes a queen you may not leave it as a pawn and you may not promote it to a king. As it is out of a pawn promotion it possible to have many queens on the board at the same time. A pawn could now move all the way the board to become a queen without opponent pawn it would have a good chance to capture it. In the following example it is white moves when the white pawn moves forward 2 squares in a single move the black pawn in a fight wants to be able to capture the pawn before the white pawn can advance further. The same rule applies here for one move and one move only the black pawn could respond by capturing the white pawn. To affect the capture move the black pawn further down diagonally and remove the white pawn. Note that only pawns can capture en passant and only a pawn in a existing fight can capture in this space.
