The Pawn has several unique attributes. In their first move, each pawn has the option to move forward one space or two spaces. After this move, they can only move one space forward. However, they are also the only chess piece that captures in a method different from how they move. To capture, the Pawn moves diagonally one space (see the diagram).
No. When a pawn moves two squares on its first movement, then this must be without capture, i.e., two squares straight ahead, and the square that he passes must be empty, as must be the square he moves to. For the en passant capture, see the FAQ page for en passant capture.
