150. Mecklenbeck Pawn. Thanks to Lev Grigoriev for catching me mistakenly posting the Virtuoso a second time! I should've looked at my list more closely.
In its place, I'll just post something much simpler: the Mecklenbeck Pawn. Its move is just the same as a regular Pawn (hence no diagram); the difference is that, while a regular Pawn promotes at the furthest row (8th, on a standard chess boardf), the Mecklenbeck may graduate one or two rows earlier.
Since this doesn't affect movement, nearly any Pawn can be converted into a Mecklenbeck version, so the only difference I gave it is a ring around the center.
