What happens when a pawn on the back row captures to the second row, as in b1xc2? Does that pawn still get to make a 2-space move since it's on a square where a pawn could do that?

The feature that the Queen may not enter a square that is attacked and the starting setup should make this game very interesting. I have also posted a Game Courier preset for Paloma Chess.
