The Confluence of Shabbos and "Pesach"

I. The problem of the Paschal offering on Pesach and its preparation
Pesachim 66a

Hillel declares that tradition allows the offering of the Paschal
sacrifice on Shabbat though not its roasting.

II. When is Taanit Bechorim?
1. Meiri, Birkei Yoseph: On Friday.
2-3: Shulchan Aruch OH, 470, 3:
some say that the firstborn fast on Thurs. some say that they do not
fast
Ramah: one should follow the first idea
Magen Avraham: if one is hungry one may have a bite before Bedikah
Gra: Some say that once it is pushed, let it be pushed to Thurs. Others say that it does not apply

III. When is the burning?
Mishna below: before Shabbos or destroy it on Shabbos
Tur and the Mordechai in the name of Rashi: before chatzot, noon.
Shulchan Aruch 444: before noon
Minhagim of Rav Avraham Kloisner: 96.b. any time on Friday.
Mishnah Berurah: actually before 11 (ish) like on a regular year.
RJF:  It could be that this year one could wait until noon actually

IV.  How much should be gotten rid of before Shabbos?
Mishna 49a, Gemara 13a: We destroy it all before Shabbat but leave enough for two meals. Some say we destroy it at its time.

Razah: Everything must be gone before Shabbos, and you can eat matzah until the 4th hour
Rambam: leave enough to eat until 10 (ish) on Shabbat
Orchos Hayim: Getting rid of everything except two meals is only for
Terumah, but for regular food, one could leave over a lot. This is the
opinion of the Raavad and this is the custom.
Michtam: If you hold that biur Hametz is only through burning then it
must be done before shabbos. If you say it can be done any way, then you could do so on shabbos.
Shulchan Aruch, based on the Mishna:  two meals.
Mishnah Berurah: it could be as much as you need.
RJF:  Is it a) a practical advice or  is it b) a requirement not to have
too much left over?

V. Can one eat Matzah for the 2 meals?
JT: Rabbi Levi: One who eats matzah on erev Pesach, it is as if he slept with his betrothed in his father in law's house, and we give him lashes.
We learned: Rabbi Yehudah ben Beterah says, chametz and matza are forbiddden, (you can't slaughter the Pesach when there is chametz, and he held you could slaughter it in the morning)... Rebbi did not eat chametz or matzah, matzah because of Rabbi Levi and chametz because of RYBB. This  idea is then rejected and it is said that maybe he was finicky and couldn't eat too much or that he was a bechor, first born. 
Ittur p. 122: our custom is to eat matzah on Shabbat. This is a fence
the rabbis made to avoid prohibition.
RAzah: yes, based on the Tosephta: The 14th which fell on Shabbos, we destroy all before Shabbos and bake matzah on Erev Shabbos.
Ramban: Tosephta refers to baking matza for the seder on Friday. The JT refers to all day prohibiton on matzah. Ran: that is only if you follow 
RYBB. We don't
Rosh: the prohibition of matza is at the time of engagement like after
it is forbidden.
Raavya 452: The Tosephta (II, 5) talks about baking matzah for the third meal (whose prohibition is waved) for a mitzvah.
Rav Moshe: Is it a question of impetuousness or that one should start a matter on the mitzvah not in  the optional mode? Impetuousness applies all day. Starting at the time of option doesn't start until noon.

VI. Is it adding to the Torah to have matzah on erev Pesach?
Rav Rosen: yes
Rav feinstein: no, without intention can't violate.
Torah shlema;, can't add before a holiday.
Obscure midrash: RSHBY: "Even on the first day," to include the 14th that one must eat matzah

VII. Can one eat chametz in the morning?
Rav Hai Gaon: In Shibolei haleket 206: This is what we do and we are accustomed to, we get rid of it all before Shabbos and do not leave only enough for two meals and we do not cook not wheat, not flour so we will not have to wash pots for chametz, and since we don't need to eat from them at mincha it is forbidden to wash them.
Magid mishnah: one should
Shibolei haleket: 208: if one wishes to be strict and not eat chametz
like R. YBB let a blessing be on his head
Shulchan Aruch 444: one could wash them a bit.
Mishnah Berurah: even though he doesn't need the dishes, it is o.k.
Better to have  a gentile wash them. We eat cold foods (no mess) and hot stew for later lunch which is the third meal.

VIII. What does one do with the remaining crumbs?
Rambam: one puts the vessel over it.
Rosh:  can one give it to a gentile to take away? why should you? Just shake it out
Michtam:  they allowed crushing on Pesach
Shibolei haleket: one annuls them
Bach: best to give it to animals, not to crush it.
Shulchan Aruch: both

IX. Can one eat egg matzah?
Rashi was in doubt as to whether egg matzah was Kosher for Pesach
Rabbeinu Tam: as long as it has no water. He ate egg matzah even after 10 am
Rambam: if it has wine, yes, otherwise it is eligible for the night
Rambam: without wine or oil or honey, it is good matzva for the evening.

Shulchan Aruch: even on Pesach
Ramah: we don't eat it on Pesach
Magid Mishnah: the early custom (of leaving chametz over) is the main thing
Rav Rosen: no, based on the Rambam
Rav Feinstein: yes

X. What happens to the third meal?
re. the 14 Succoth meals: if you finished off with types of fruit he
fulfills the mitzvah (27)
according to Rabbeinu Tam: can use fruit
Rabbeinu Tam himself used to use egg matzah for the third meal
Maharam of Rothenberg: two meals means two which are broken into three meals, for one may have the third meal in the morning.
Orchos Hayim: rabbeinu tam used egg matzah on this case.
Meiri: the third meal is only at mincha and it is pushed off on this day
because of the prohibition of matza oacoriding to our opinion and even according to the opinion that matzah could be had it is pushed off for the honor of Yom Tov
ibid. That which some do a meal in the morning and stop for benching and make from one, two, it is a weak minhag and logic does not support it...

ibid. we are afraid that if he eats two meals in the morning then he
will eat too much and eat at the wrong time.
Shulchan Aruch: egg matzah could be used for the third meal. (this is
the law for Sepharadim)
Aruch Hashulchan: egg matzah could be used for the third meal too.
Gra in the name of the Zohar: there is no third meal
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch: 115: one should best eat two meals in the morning

XI. Does one have to save some bread to destroy at the time of burning?
RAzah: one shouldn't have anything
Rashi: the torah law is to burn it before Pesach, 30 days before the
obligation to destroy comes up.
Rambam:  the mitzvah is before the time of prohibition, on the
fourteenth
Tosaphot: the torah law is to burn it after the prohibition starts.
Mishna berurah: if one wishes to burn the chametz right after checking it is still a mitzvah since the obligation of destroying falls upon one during the 30 day period prior to Pesach.
