Ain't no way this is getting downvoted

I never knew Rudolf was french this whole time

Why would you do the en passant instead of just taking the "free" umaknight?

(I guess Rudolf's playing under the memetic satirical ruleset where en passant is mandatory and not doing it when you can gives your opponent a free opportunity to hit you with a brick?)

if we also consider the Trainer might be bad at chess anyway (considering he doesn't know the move) Rudolf can also afford to take sub optimal moves to flex on her Trainer. Also makes the game longer so the 2 can spend more time together.
