Trivia Question...

At what point in chess history was the option to move the pawn one or
two squares added? I think it's supposed to be one of the more
recent modifications to the game.

Just wondering..... Marc

This site indicates that it was in the 15th century.

As I understand it, castling was the most recent change
to the way the pieces move.
