2. After you move, all enemy pawns will move forward unless there is a pawn or knight blocking it
3. Enemy pawns will not capture your knight.
4. All enemy pawns in row 1 will move first, then row 2, and so on. If there is a pawn in row A1 and A2, the pawn in A1 will be blocked from moving by the pawn in A2.
