It can. sort of Its called "en passon" or something like thatWhen a pawn moves two spaces forward, another pawn can take it by attacking the space behind it. All pawns can move two spaces forward once* in the game provided they haven't taken anything yet. If a pawn does this the space behind it can be used by any other piece as it only counts as a capture if a opposing pawn moves diagonally into this space.
Oh and telling a 9 year old to search for pawn. really.
*some people maintain only as the first move they make. I'm not sure who is right about this though.
EDIT: its En-passant en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant

It's only as the first moveOn their first move, each pawn may be moved forwards one - or two spaces.
On subsequent moves, they may only advance one square at a time.
