Re: Can you explain this move?

Its called capturing en passant (sp?)  When a pawn reaches the 5th rank and an opposing pawn skips past it, that initial pawn has a choice to either capture the pawn as if it moved only 1 square, or leave it be.  Once you make any other move, you lose that opportunity.
 
Most any basic rules of chess manuals or rulebooks will have this maneuver and many others covered.  To have a more in depth definition of the rules, check out the "Official Rules of Chess" by the US Chess Federation at the local library.  Hope this helps  :)

Hi there.
Just wanted you to see this move, and to tell me if the computer is aloud to do it.

Thanx.
Rob.

p.s.  I have yet to beat this program!!!
