okay, this has happened to me several times and I could not find any stated rules so please help me out...
My pieces
king e1
pawn e3
pawn g3
bishop g2
pawn f2
Opponent
pawn e4
knight e5
I moved my pawn from f2 position to f4 to trap the knight, and the pawn e4 took mine out and moved into f3.
So, under what circumstances can a pawn move sideways to capture a piece? And does it always advance one block ahead as well?
I play the chess titans version on microsoft which goes from level 1 to 10. Right now I play on 5 and lose a lot more than I win. What level do I need to consistently win at to even start thinking about playing with skilled players?

The move is called en passant and is used to prevent pawns from moving past squares guarded by opposing pawns. I would have to say this move would only be seen with a rookie playing a more knowledgeable player.
I used to play chess a lot when I was younger but haven't played much at all in the past years. I have played the chess titans version you speak of and usually play it at level 5. I can beat this level fairly consistently and would say I could probably beat the "average" player.
Your definition of "skilled players" I guess would determine what level you should be playing at.
Personally, if you're losing consistently at level 5, I would study the game some more by reading and learning from players better than yourself (if you have that option) until you're more comfortable at said level.

thanks for the help and encouragement guys. For those of you who play the chess titan and live opponent, what level would 7-10 be in the real world against skilled players? and what winning percentage should you achieve before venturing into live games, 30-50% or even higher?
and what's your fave way to start the game, moving the pawns on the sides or ones in the middle? how far do you move the pawns(I heard it should never be over enemy territory in the beginning stage).
right now I tend to fave moving my knights around, drawing out the pawns out of position, then backing them away. what do you think of this strategy?
when I first played I always thought that bishop is more valuable than knight, now I think you can make an argument for either. would you ever trade a knight for bishop or vice versa in the early stage of the game?
