Emne: Queening a pawn

I can't find it in the rules, but I assume you can Queen a pawn. Can anybody help? Thanks.

Emne: Re: Queening a pawn

Yes, pawn promotion is just as in normal chess ... you can choose between Q, R, B or N.

Emne: Re: Queening a pawn

Funny thing is I captured a piece on the 8th rank with my pawn (thus destroying the pawn) and i was still asked which piece I wanted to promote to. :)

Emne: Re: Queening a pawn

I only just started playing. Mainly it's just becuase I just enjoy the explosions.
But obviousily there are numererous glitches in the programming.
But what the site managers partly appear to be trying to do here is to overcome the awful technical problem of setting up this kind of site.
No one has been able to do it yet. All the game sites, even the most established, constantly crash or otherwise scew up.
Personally, I am taking these people at face value - that they are trying to do their best - and that if they keep trying to do it long enough, it could work.

Grenv ... did you get the piece or was it promoted and then removed?
