I seem to recall having read somewhere about a variation on the pawns' initial double move which, contrary to the standard rules, allows not only a single pawn moving two steps, but also two pawns moving one step each. Iirc it was described as being played in India, with a popular opening involving one King's pawn moving two steps and the other side moving both bishops' pawns, though it may have been the knights' pawns and I can't remember which side makes which move.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? I can't seem to find it anywhere myself.
