There is a question friends and I have with reguards to the pawns first
move. When takin the 'double step', would the pawn be allowed to step
forward to the first square, then capture a piece in next diagonal square
?

For example, lets say there is a black piece at space E-4. May the white
pawn at D-2 with its inital 'two steps', step thru D-3 and capture the
piece at E-4 ?

 I'll check back for answers ! 

THANX !
