Supersession of P1380851
Superseded by P1380851
The 2018 FIDE laws state: "3.7.2 on its first move the pawn may move as in 3.7.1 or alternatively it may advance two squares along the same file, provided that both squares are unoccupied."
Hence Black's newborn 8th rank pawn, which has never been moved before, reserves the right to commence a double-step on its first move, and likewise White receives the right to capture it en passant as they do with a 7th rank pawn.

James Malcom: I had a thought looking at this again. Does n7/1P2P3/Q3P3/1r6/N1k1KP2/Pr6/B2p1p2/n7 work to save another piece? (2022-04-02)
A.Buchanan: James, yes your version does save another unit for your lovely idea. Beyond this, a version n7/1P2P3/Q7/Br6/2kPKP2/1r6/B2p1p2/n7 saves another unit, and forces a unique order on the Black promotions too. To avoid distracting unachievable threats, set NoThreat as well as the usual NoShortVariations. Your composition has driven me finally to report a long-standing Olive bug that cruelly punishes we Dummy Pawn enthusiasts: https://github.com/dturevski/olive-gui/issues/54. (2022-04-03)
James Malcom: Thanks for the verification and shaving off a unit, Andrew. (2022-04-03)

The retroplay looks wrong, what about 1... d8-d6!? 2.d7-d8=sB!? c6xYb5 (2020-04-30)
James Malcom: That makes much more sense Henrik. I have edited it accordingly. (2020-04-30)
A.Buchanan: You don't like Adrian's (: haha? What about :) then? In heraldic terms, it would be described as "regardant". See 270 on https://www.heraldica.org/cgi-bin/atlas.pl?12. I don't know the word for "non-regardant", which is the default direction for the head, e.g. most of the others on that page.
We could replace wBa6a7 with wSa6, but alas having the 3rd knight is non-thematic & distracting. The other thing I would've liked to do is empty b2 so the promotion is forced to be to D. Such a tiny problem should have precision promotion. Needs more thinking. (2020-05-01)
James Malcom: UPDATE: The position has been edited to have one less piece and a precise queen promotion. (2020-10-12)
A.Buchanan: There is dialogue here which is now orphaned by a change of diagram with new matrix. Suggest we revert to the older diagram and mark it superseded by a new PDB entry here (2020-10-12)
James Malcom: I agree-it is now done. (2020-10-12)
