      White can trade its bishop for the black queen. It’s a good move but a significant loss too, thus the meme below. At least that’s how I read that

        Look at the title. White can also perform En Passant, which in this situation would be worse than taking Blacks Queen.

      It’s Whites turn. The obvious move would be Bishop takes Queen. However as Blacks Pawn performed a double move, Whites Pawn also can perform a En Passant and take the Pawn. For The memes.

        Which also puts the king in check, right? That’s meaningful if playing for points or something like that?

        Black then has to waste a turn moving the king or use the queen which puts the queen back in threat of the bishop? And puts the king in check a second time?

        I don’t really play so maybe im missing something
