240. Fish Pawn. The Fish Pawn (often called just Fish) comes from Fish Chess, and while that game hasn't gotten a lot of attention the piece has been listed on Who is who on Eight by Eight and the Generic Chess Piece Creation System, as well as Pick-the-team Chess (not to mention a couple of my own games).

The piece has all the moves of an orthodox Pawn, including the opening two-space move, but is also capable of moving one space backward.

This is a case of a small difference that can, under the right circumstances, make a big difference in an actual game.
