Did you ever use en passant?

I did before. All experienced chess players should have used it before.
@Rapid167 #12 "I never use it since it's cheating"

You are joking, right? :)

But, many young players (or beginners in general) do not know it is an official rule. I remember once 3-4 decades ago (when I was a kid) on one OTB tornament I played "en passant" move against another kid, take him qeen or a rook in next move and he said right away: "You cheating!", jumping immediately from the chair and go to one of the judges to complaint. How he was surprised when the judge refused to do anything - he resigned immediatelly...

Through the history chess rules was changed many times, perhaps interesting to read. Many serious players do not know even "50 moves" rule...
CM Sarg0n..Funny thing I heard it.when in the playing i just forgot the concept of usage...Many times during the plays it changed total position board..
I watched a kid lose a game in an OTB tournament and complain to the arbiter because he'd never seen en passant, it was truly hilarious.
