Each pawn is allowed to move 2 spaces forward on it's first move only, so, yes it is a legal move.
Thank you Erik and BladeRunner for your explanations. I appreciate it.
This is what I love about chess.com. A question will receive a good explanation, in a timely manner. Everyone should have a copy of the rules of chess handy for just such an occassion!
Is black pawn move: g7-g5 officially allowed considering the white's pawn has already been on the black's side of the board?
here is the position just for example:
1. d4 b6
2.d5 g5
thank you for your explanation
