This is a helpful little book, so thanks @andytratt. One thing I think you should add in future editions is an illustration for en passant. You illustrate things like the knight move but IMO en passant is harder for beginners to understand without an illustration.

En passant is illustrated on p. 14, in the discussion of pawn movement in the Pawn Wars minigame.

Thanks you!

Yes I intentionally buried the piece movement explanations after each minigame, trying to keep focus on the sequence of minigames and letting folks skip over the piece movements in case they already knew them a priori.

Sorry, my bad. I didn't think to look in the minigame section for the fundamental moves and assumed they were all in the front matter.
