en passent?

i just had a game when my opponent clearly made en paasent ... why did it not work as usualß
@b222bb copy the address.
However, I presume this is the game:

I don't see any en passant captures there. Maybe you need to revisit the rule and check you fully understand it.
Well, generally speaking, there is no problem moving 1.Ng1-f3, for example, mainly because the interface doesn't allow illegal moves like 1.Ng1-g3, 1.Ng1-e4, 1.Ng1-d8, and so on. But on the other hand any legal moves, (including en passant) are always possible, which might be tricky sometimes.
His problem is that for en passant the pawn has to move two squares and not one. He wanted tound play 10. dxe6 e.p.
whites pawn needed to be on the 5th rank, the e pawn needed to have moved 2 squares there after.
