To be clear: This pawn can capture forward or diagonally forward but can only move orthogonally forward if it is not capturing. It can not capture sideways. Correct?
The idea is to add another way to control area on the board, while preserving pawn structure, or making pawn structure able to be broken (as opposed to other approaches to give the pawn lateral movement). Maybe it has very limited usage, but it is there for consideration. My feeling is a board with an odd number of rows could benefit from it.
Your idea is good and would be worth to try it in the context you are mentioning of larger boards, particularly in any variant on a 10x10 board.
I'm now focused on trying to moving as much as I can in the hard and bumpy road that leads to the utopia called Universal Chess, and think the Eurasian Pawn may perfectly well be included in the next 3rd stage of such a road.
OK. I'm doing it rightnow.
