[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah fuck, is that fr*nch?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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 10 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

[–] finestnothing@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

A common mistake

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

[–] kernelle@0d.gs 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You've strangely misspelled holy hell

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] kernelle@0d.gs 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 7 points 10 months ago

Holy hell

You're not Sprog. :(

I miss Sprog and Portarossa

Chess on French pastry?

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago (1 children)

En passant on a croissant

[–] crawley@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nice try, but that's definitely not it

[–] ManicZed@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nope, he's right, it's a rather outdated move that I use to use in middle school to piss people off.

Google croissant

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Is that a new service from them where you can learn to make French pastry?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago

New response just dropped

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago

Fun fact: the French call it pastry from Vienna (viennoiserie)

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 13 points 10 months ago

Holy hell.

[–] Zink@pawb.social 12 points 10 months ago

Holy pastry!

[–] ledtasso@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

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

[–] octoperson@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

bxa3 on a pastry

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Where did the other white piece go?

[–] Garfield100@feddit.de 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Google en-passant

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Holy hell!

Vous avez entendu parler d'elf on the shelf, maintenant préparez-vous pour en passant sur le croissant.

[–] wieson@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Évidemment

An peasant on the crescent

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Made up move-a on a media-luna.

[–] RavenFellBlade@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago

Ah, yes, En Croissant. Very important maneuver.
