Is the "two move" rule ONLY usable at the start of the game or at any time??
In the unsimplified version at any time. In the simplified version that chess.com hosts never.

It can be used on any pawns that have not been moved. So as long as you have two or more such pawns that you can move, you have the option of playing the move.
I know. It's complicated.

Only first move for white.
You are rude. Please apologise.
Proof of 5000 strength. This is old version. We also have new version, but it is without number. Probably higher than 5000 since it is newer.
I'm sure you are aware of it and are just trying to be funny but that is not the rating for that software.
I sent e-mail to manufacturer asking about rating strength. Let us await their answer. I will publish answer here.
I think many know there are regional variations played. It is that in combination with some other posts and topics that makes people question the seriousness of the OP.
Please, do not question uncle Jalavan's authority. He is a local master who beats computer's highest level.
Please be open minded here. Your uncle was obviously playing by a local rule, not the FIDE (International) Rules of Chess, which are agreed worldwide in official play.
He could have been the world's greatest player, but that has nothing to do with the question here. The FACT is he wasn't playing by the official rules if he moved two pawns in one move.
When I was young I was taught a passing drill in American football by a professional quarterback. That doesn't mean we followed all the official rules of play: we only had 4 players on each side instead of the normal 11.
When I coached a high school chess team I encouraged my teenagers to play Bughouse, a 4-player, 2-team chess game, because it encouraged my players to visualize how a Knight, Pawn, etc. could change an entire position. But it was NOT the officials rules of chess.
Good luck with your chess and welcome here!

The rule is simple. Move two pawns one square each or one pawn two squares. Only white's first move.
This is called the two move rule.
I love playing the Javalan Gambit!
For those ignorant fools who don't know, the Javalan Gambit is a variation of the Giuoco Pianissimo.
I have used the Javalan Gambit to great effect to defeat GM Viswanathan Anand in a simul. Anand resigned after my 6... Nd4. After the match, Anand told me that he had never seen such an aggressive line and that with enough hard work I could easily become the first player to defeat Komodo with king odds.

That is not the Jalavan gambit. It is nowhere near. As enlightened, one must move two openings in the pawn to make ready for the Jalavan gambit.
In the position shown, what happens when White plays 7. Qh5, simultaneously threatening Qxf7+ and Qxe5+? If this is indeed the Javalan Gambit, the reason I've never heard of it is that it appears to be unsound. I am not seeing Black's forced win here and I highly doubt that GM Anand would have resigned after your sixth move, it must have been his stunt double.

Nah, Anand's stunt double was busy playing the other participants in the simul. That way he was able to finish twice as quickly.
