Hi,

First of all for clarity, a pawn can ONLY attack diagonally correct? Or
is there a rule I have never been told...

I was playing the gnuchess engine and black moved its pawn diagonally to
the right and the white pawn originally to its right was removed from
the board.

ex.
before
~ ~ ~ ~
~ p P ~
~ ~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ ~

after
~ ~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ ~
~ ~ p ~
~ ~ ~ ~

Attached is the game.log of GNU Chess 5.07 and before/after xboard
screenschots
Thanks,
Brian Wightman
