> All pieces can take pawns with en passant rules instead of just other pawns

Err, only pawns can take another pawn en passant, no other piece can.

This is not spelled exactly this way at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant nor
http://www.fide.com/fide/handbook?id=124&view=article but I have *never* seen nor heard or anything else than a pawn doing an en passant take.
