 It wasn't at the time it was played. The rules then said that a pawn that reaches the eighth rank may be promoted to ANY piece of the player's choosing.

I wish we could back up,=

 in the back,

Actually chess should be like the computer game Battle Chess, so the pice that gives checkmate does the additional move to capture the king

Isn't it that the white pawn has to be promoted to a black knight?

Anyway so is it a legal move to promote your pieces to another piece of the opposite colour? As of today?
