Question

I know I never have so I was just wondering.

Answer 1

Yes.  Usually then explain the en passant rule and let them consider another move.:)

Answer 2

Sure. I can't say exactly how many times but I've done at least a couple of times in tournament games and lots of times in causal speed chess games.

Answer 3

yup have, and watched a few games with beginners. It was great seeing their face of disbelief as the move was explained to them.
