| Feb 12 at 20:48 | comment | added | Chessanator | It's not possible to make a pin that only goes through the taken pawn, since either the pin would have to go through a diagonal (The previous position wasn't legal because the black king would be in check before the white pawn moves) or it would have to be a pin on the file (the taking pawn replaces the taken one on the file and still blocks the check). | |
| Feb 12 at 20:41 | comment | added | Chessanator | It's also possible for "both pawns" to be pinned horizontally to the king. Using the pawns as in your examples, it's then possible for white to have pushed d2-d4 (the black pawn on c4 was blocking the check, so the preceding position is legal) and it's legal for black to play any other pawn move (when the pawn on c4 moves, the white pawn on d4 is blocking the check). But taking en-passant removes both pawns from the fourth row and exposes the black king to check, so is illegal. | |
