I was never taught that pawns have a reverse gear. --[[User:Tim-brown|Tim-brown]] ([[User talk:Tim-brown|talk]]) 08:56, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
: Task description says ''The picking of pieces does not have to comply to a regular chess set'' and then goes on to give a variety of examples of "illegal" boards. It is also very specific about the constraints it places on pawns. Rather than excluding pawns from the first and last row of the board, it is careful to exclude each color from only one of those rows. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 09:36, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 
:To clarify: yes, putting a white pawn on the first rank or a black pawn on the eighth rank is allowed, even if it's impossible in a normal chess game. The reason is that on [http://en.lichess.org lichess] sometimes player challenge each other on custom starting position and it's not rare that they chose to place pawns there.--[[User:Grondilu|Grondilu]] ([[User talk:Grondilu|talk]]) 11:42, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
