The capture must be made immediately you only get one chance to capture en passant. The opponent must move a pawn two squares, landing the pawn directly alongside the capturing pawn on the fifth rank.

The following conditions must all be present for an en passant capture to be legal: - The capturing pawn must be on its fifth rank. Special Moves En Passant allows a pawn which has moved two squares to be captured as though it only moved one. If all these conditions are met, castling is done by moving the king two squares towards the rook, while the rook hops over the king, landing on the square next to the king. The king must not be in check, nor can castling move the king through a square where he would be in check. All of the squares between the king and the rook must be empty. If either piece has been moved then castling is not allowed, even if the piece is moved back to its original square.
