IN GAME VIEW:
In the first column there are the EASY LEVEL towers.The en passant capture is a move that allows a pawn that has just advanced two squares to be captured by a horizontally adjacent enemy pawn. The capturing pawn moves to the square that the advancing pawn passed over; the advancing pawn is captured as if it had advanced only one square. Such capture is permitted only on the turn immediately after the two-square advance; it cannot be done on a later turn. En passant is the only capture in chess where the capturing piece does not take the captured piece's place.
Rules:
Castling is a move in the game of chess in which a player moves the king two squares toward a rook on the same rank and moves the rook to the square that the king has crossed. It is the only move in chess in which a player moves two pieces in the same move, and it is the only two-square king move
