I have a 'know-it-all' friend who INSISTS that its true that, by the
rules that the official chess masters play, one cannot capture pieces
with
a pawn that has not yet moved.

Besides this site, is there a source that debunks this idea? That is,
just
in case an internet source isn't 'good enough,' are there any books
that
clearly state that this supposed rule is false?
