I suppose this is about the King's move diagram, when 'materializing' the Pawn by hovering over a square.

Yes, all my comments were about that diagram.

This is a general problem with pieces that have a location dependent move: these would need different move diagrams for each location.

How about letting someone drag a piece around the board to see how it can move from different locations?

It would be far more confusing to omit the King's three forward moves in that diagram; people would think the King could never move forward, no matter where it is.

My preference is for not being confusing at all. I don't want to have to choose which of two confusing options is less confusing.
