Subject: Re:

MadMonkey: It's rather the reverse way, you want to promote it to a knight because it is the only way to legally capturing the king !

MadMonkey: Referring to the rules! Yay! the rules always boss. If a pawn is to be promoted (would advance to the last row), the player can move it even if the die does not show 1. However, he can only promote it to the piece chosen by the die roll - for example, if 3 is rolled, the pawn can be promoted to a bishop only. If 1 is rolled, the pawn can be promoted to any piece.

Yeah, Fencer answered you... his point is also good, but I rather mine! The result is the same, YOU WIN! Oh, I'm still so proud of you, my good-mad-young-student... ohohoh!
