Correct.
Let me add that 1.... a4 is an en passant opening move, but there are
en passant opening captures e.g. 1.h2-h4 a7xh3!, 1.g2-g4 b7xg3!, 1.f2-f4 c7xf3!
etc.
Obviously the most interesting 1.e2-e4 d7xe3! and 1.d2-d4 e7xd3! had been
thoroughly analyzed and discarded by the pros and played by only the pitiful
patzers who couldn't afford to download the 25 pieces tablebases. In 2019
according to the prevalent notion 1.h3 and 1.a3 were the two playable opening
moves, but all this fell into ruin a year later when the 30 pieces tablebases
came out.
By that time the name of the game was not chess, but nalimov. 'They are playing
nalimov' or 'they are playing eugene' (for insiders) or 'onyi igrayut yevgenyiy'
(for the more insiders).
That's what we know now. Who can see the future?
