I have a pawn on my seventh rank. If I capture a piece with that pawn, and promote it, then my opponent immediately takes it, does he get a pawn in hand or does he get the piece I promoted to?
The reason being that at the end of your turn you have captured his piece (whcih you get to keep) and exchanged your pawn for another piece. In his turn he will be able to take the piece which now occupies your eighth rank, whatever it is, except that it won't be a pawn or a king.
Interesting, and that would seem a natural outgrowth of this variant concept, as opposed to trying to keep track of which piece used to be a pawn, etc., if not captured right away.
