Can pawns attack on their first move?

Question

Can pawns attack on their first move?

Answer 1

yes on their first move but not first move of the game

Answer 2

Like all other chess pieces, pawns can capture other pieces from their "home position" (row 2 for white, row 7 for black pawns) if the opportunity presents itself...  which is a rare occurrence.

Answer 3

Yes. they cant attack on the first move of the game, but they can attack on their first move :) assumely you are black.

thats all.

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

yeah, but not the first move of the game...don't think that's possible

Answer 7

I believe they can.

I've never seen a rule anywhere saying they can't.

Answer 8

No, they can't. Theoretically they could, but with the standard board layout the pawns are never within range of an enemy piece on their owner's first turn.

If you mean the first move for that pawn rather tha the first move for that player, then yes I believe they can.

Answer 9

Yes.

As simple as that.
