En Passant: Writing it Down Worksheet

Correctly writing down the moves in a game of chess is a duty that might be well overlooked in your child’s quest to becoming a grand chess master. Proper notation of an en passant capture requires that your child write down the start and end squares of the capturing pawn and put an X between them. For example, d5xe6. Ask your children to look through the worksheet and check the correct notation of the capture pictured.
