46. Linebacker Pawn. The Linebacker Pawn moves one space directly or diagonally forward, but does not capture. Instead, it pushes an enemy piece to the space beyond (which must be empty). For its initial move, it may slide two spaces instead of one, with the same effect on an enemy piece in the destination square.
The Betza notation for this is particularly long and complex: fmFfmWifmF2ifmW2fpafabucFfpafabucWfafpafabucFfafpafabucW (though I'm not 100% sure about those last two sections).
Besides being good for a game heavy on forced-move powers, I think this would be a fitting piece for any game with a sports theme, especially American football.
