It was not a pawn , it was a knight.

halfway down the story

"In 1994 in Linares, Spain, Kasparov played a knight move against Judit Polgar
and removed his fingers from that piece. But after he saw that he might lose
material, he took the knight back and made a different move. His act was caught
on camera by a Spanish television crew, but Polgar was so shocked that she
froze, uncapable to protest and soon lost the game. "
