[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 9 months ago

You know. I've played chess for like 30 years and I can't recall a single time someone has used en passant against me.

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 6 points 9 months ago

I feel like it's a rule made up by someone who didn't agree with the double step rule

"Oh, your pawn can do a double step? Well, my pawn can capture yours anyways!"

CHESS ON MY BREASTS

That's a croissant, not a Paris brest

Oh I was just thinking chess, but not a specific move within chess.

[-] kernelle@0d.gs 19 points 9 months ago

You've strangely misspelled holy hell

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 5 points 9 months ago

I'm out of the loop, can someone catch me up on the holy hell thing?

[-] kernelle@0d.gs 10 points 9 months ago

En passant has always been the most obscure chess rule, in online chess it's often reported as cheating. Which resulted in a lot of people saying "google en passant", on an unkown lemmy clone someone realising it's an actual chess move replied, holy hell, and a meme was born.

Chess on French pastry?

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 38 points 9 months ago

En passant on a croissant

[-] crawley@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Nice try, but that's definitely not it

[-] ManicZed@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Nope, he's right, it's a rather outdated move that I use to use in middle school to piss people off.

bxa3 on a pastry

[-] Zink@pawb.social 12 points 9 months ago

Holy pastry!

[-] ledtasso@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

I'm not sure if this counts, since all French just sounds to me like it rhymes with "croissant" ?

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 10 points 9 months ago

Chess spread on crab bread?

Holy hell!

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago

I'm not gonna say the thing, but I did google it and learned something I didn't know.
