ding, ding, ding, correct!
"An passant" is a French phrase (no doubt making Al Groh proud) that means "in passing". On each pawn's first move, you are allowed to move it forward either one or two squares. If you choose to move it forward two squares, and it ends up beside one of your opponent's pawns, your opponent can choose to move his pawn diagonally to the square that your pawn "jumped over". This is only legal on the very next move after your pawn moves.
