I really like this variant. It's simple but adds something new to the game. I think it would also be interesting to add some optional rules:

  • A friendly pawn behind its friendly pawn can bypass it by moving diagonally.
  • The knight has an additional special move. Special move: The knight can move without capturing an enemy piece two squares horizontally or vertically, provided that there is a friendly pawn between the target square and the knight.

These are my thoughts on this variant. Overall, a very interesting idea.

Thank you, but I want to keep the rules simple. The purpose of this game was to mess up with the chess openings. There is no need for extra rules. I am glad you like it.

Are the new pawns allowed a 2-step first move?

Of course. All Pawns on the second and seventh ranks are allowed a double move.
