En Passant Isn’t Available
Sorry, En Passant isn’t available right now A law banning en passant has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you’re checkmated. We are fortunate that Anish Giri has indicated he will work with us on a solution to reinstate en passant once he’s done tweeting. Please stay tuned!
A chess app displays a mock legal notice claiming that en passant has been banned in the United States, resulting in checkmate. The absurd announcement references grandmaster Anish Giri’s reputation for tweeting and jokes about treating a chess rule like a government-regulated service. It works as a reaction to sudden, ridiculous restrictions or overdramatic explanations.
