There are also various types of Knight Pawns, from Fegus Duniho's Cavaliers (Mao's used as Pawns) from Cavalier Chess, to the Cavalry Chess Pawn which can move a FIDE Pawn or forward like a Knight, and the weaker version found in Chess with Cyclical Armies that moves forward as a Mao instead of as a Knight. <p> There are Pawn powers found in some games, like Pawns that can leap over pieces in front of them. There are the Pincer Pawns of Ultima and the Cannon Pawns of Rococo, and various games use Checker/Draught pieces as Pawns.
