17. Pawns can always diagonally capture....
And pawns are the only piece that can capture an opponents piece without occupying it's space. In en passant, if an opponents pawn avoids a conflict with another pawn by moving two spaces on it's first move, the opponent can occupy the space behind that pawn and capture it.

6. I don't have the attention span for a long mail game
Edited on Fri Aug-29-03 12:44 AM by khephra
But I'm not an expert by any means. I'd just love to play other DUers for the hell of it. I think the idea sounds so very very cool. Iknow there's some instant programs out there...shareware even...where we can play each other in real time.

I'm a very graceful loser.

8. There are programs
but I will have to check with my kids on what is best. Anyway, I think it would be fun and a welcome diversion from all the intramural attacks, if you will ,on DU these days.
