I am amazed at how fast I can screw these things up.

When pawn reach the other side, is there a restriction on what you can promote to (such as rook, bishop or knight) or can you promote to anything (or possibly anything but amazon) ?
Yes, I realize that is a run-on-sentence.
It would be logical (in my opinion) if you could promote to any piece in the game, but Ick made the variant so that's his question to answer.
Did you mean Qf3? Qf6 is not legal.
As for promotion (sorry I missed that post), I honestly hadn't thought about it. Given that I didn't specify, I'd say standard chess rules apply and it can promote to any piece, including hawks, elephants, and amazons. Since it's not to anyone's advantage at the moment what the rules are, I'd be fine with putting restrictions on it if the majority of players using the variant at the moment want them.

sorry about that.
