Subject: Loop Chess Rule Change?

when a guy takes a promoted queen it should revert back to a pawn not remain as a queen for opponent to place. Thats the offical rule.

tbart: No, it is the official rule for "Crazyhouse" (and Bughouse) but not for "Chessgi" (=Loop Chess) which is probably the oldest of the three games.
It was already discussed here, because all Bughouse players (me included) are acquainted to promoted pieces reverting to pawns, but there is no reason why it should be the same in Loop Chess.
