Asunto: For anyone, especially Ed Trice!
When pawns are promoted, are there any new trends developing as to favorites, or are players still favoring Queens, over Chancellors or Archbishops, perhaps due to their abiding insecurity about the new pieces' versatility and/or staying power?

Note: I intend to imply a relationship between the apparent inherent speed of development in any position and the necessity of considering the chances that, since the very character of the position may well change rapidly with the advent of a Chancellor or Archbishop upon promotion, perhaps their value should be accordingly adjusted (up!) over the alternative of adding (even a second!) Queen.

Comments welcome! /Fx/

P.S. Is it time to think of a new name for "queening"? Would something like "crowning" or "electing" or "raising" catch on? I suppose we can forget "knighting" right away! (Or...should we?!) They talk about someone having been "created Cardinal" on a particular day. Could a pawn be "created Chancellor" or "created Archbishop"? That could be abbreviated "c/C" or "c/A," instead of "p/C" or "p/A".
