Assumptions to be corrected:

  • promotion rules are exactly the same as in crazyhouse
  • pawns can't be used for upgrades
  • a piece can be upgraded unlimited times
  • one can use an upgrade to waste a move by upgrading a knight onto a knight or something similar

That's up to you guys.

If neither of you has a problem with what's in post #3, they become the rules.

Avatar of pompom

I'm okay with promotions to anything (except king or pawn, of course)

Avatar of oinquarki

And would promoted pawns turn back into pawns when captured like in bughouse and crazyhouse?

Avatar of pompom

I'll play with "yes", although you'd have to ask ichabod since he's the creator.

I think his account has been closed for a while.

Anyways, I'll just play with yes, promoted pawns turn back into pawns when captured.

Avatar of preachingforjesus

how do we keep track of which pieces were promoted?

Avatar of preachingforjesus

what happens if we underpromote and then upgrade?

Avatar of pompom

By "underpromoting" do you mean:

Anything other than a queen

Anything other than an elephant

Anything other than an amazon

All of the above

for example: I promote to a queen and later upgrade to an amazonr by placing an elephant.  then you capture the avatar.  do you get nothing ar do you get the elephant or do you get the avatar,.

and if you get nothing how is this indicated on the board.

notice the Iget nothing for promoted pawns increases the possibility of under promotion:  you promote pawn to rook on protected square ; I definitely donot take it with an elephant, and might not take it with bishop.

Avatar of pompom

Well, I don't know... maybe promoted pieces that get captured is used as the promoted piece?
