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).
The Pawn normally moves one square at a time, but there is a big exception to this rule. On its first move, when it is still sitting on the second row, it can move one or two squares. The green circles in the diagram show the two possible initial moves for the White Pawn and the two possible moves for the Black Pawn.
