Jeremy, that is pretty much correct.  It is taking a FIDE Chess Pawn and allowing it to capture a piece in front of it.  In some games, the Pawn would only be allowed to advance one space forward.  There is no lateral movement, either to move or to capture.  A key board I see the pawn being used would be in cases of the Simplified Chess board, or any board where you want to secure an area in front of pawns, without giving them added mobility.
