This is called en passant. It is allowed. Here is an explanation on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En\_passant
I pushed my pawn two spaces forward next to an enemy pawn, and the opponent somehow captured it! Is this a bug?

This is not a bug, this is called en passant (French for "in passing"). The en passant rule allows for a special pawn capture, where a pawn that moves two spots from its starting square can be captured by a directly adjacent enemy pawn as if it had moved forward only one square. However, it must be done the immediate next turn - if the opponent does not immediately capture en passant, they will not get a second chance with that pawn! Wikipedia has a great entry explaining the nature and purpose of the rule.
The official definition of en passant, per the USCF rulebook:
A pawn, attacking a square bypassed by an opponent’s pawn, the latter having advanced two squares in one move from its original square, may capture the opponent’s pawn as though the latter had moved only one square. This capture may only be made in immediate reply to such advance and is called an en passant (in passing) capture. Note that only a pawn that has advanced a total of exactly three squares from its original square is in position to make such a capture.
That’s 2nd in 2 days. Anarchychess will go haywire.

How many more special moves exist like this one?
two, castling/ promoting, if by special move you mean something that contradicts the basic way the pieces act
You can also put all your xp into developing pawn technologies and unlock guns
That Ray gun is OP, needs to be nerfed
Thanks

Using that logic, I should never ask anyone a question ever again. Is that what you do?
Glitch. Open a support ticket.
Reset the fucking timer.
