Subject: Re: Promotion in Recycle Chess

AbigailII, KotDB: OK, Robert Huber told me that they always played with promoted pieces reverting to pawns once they were taken. I hope that we will agree on this rule.
It avoids the "queen factory" trick, but sets a little problem : in order for the interface to be completely "Brainking-compliant", all info should be displayed on the board, so that the promoted pieces should be somehow marked. Although it is almost always quite easy to remember what pieces were promoted.
