"Pawns can only move one space, except for their first move, when they can move two" - Statement by the utterly deranged.
I'm already keeping track of the kings and rooks for castling reasons. Remembering whether any of the 16 pawns has moved is too overwhelming and turns IRL chess into a game of who can get away with the other player's bad memory.
Err... Maybe I just missed the joke, but... If the pawn is in its initial position it means it hasn't moved yet.
Yes, you missed the joke. I know pawns can only move in one direction on the Y-axis.
