Best Answer

A pawn can be captured and removed from play just like any other Chess piece can. Pawns are captured more frequently than most other pieces, due to their number and their role in the game.

If a pawn is knocked over or disturbed during the course of play, that does not mean it has been captured. It is just reset in its previous position so that play can continue.
