First, thanks for naming this neat game for my daughter Paloma! She will be thrilled (as soon as she can play!). The feature that the Queen may not enter a square that is attacked and the starting setup should make this game very interesting. I have also posted a Game Courier preset for Paloma Chess.

What happens when a pawn on the back row captures to the second row, as in b1xc2? Does that pawn still get to make a 2-space move since it's on a square where a pawn could do that?

Actually, no. The capture would be that particular pawn's initial move.

O, so in other words, in this game pawns can make an initial double-step on a light square in the first two rows, I suppose.
