211. Iron Pawn. I honestly haven't seen this type of Pawn used much, if at all, in any chess variants, and I think it'd make for an interesting twist. The Iron Pawn's move is very simple: it simply moves or captures to any of the three spaces in front of it. However, because it's "iron," it cannot be captured; the main defense against its success in reaching the far side and promoting is to keep the opponent busy with other concerns. (fhK)
In an Interactive Diagram, to make a piece iron just include a line that states "iron=N" (where N is the number of the piece type -- in this case, whatever position the Iron Pawn is on the list).
As for the model, it should be easy enough to tell at a glance exactly what it is.
