Interesting position, my friend. For the first time I wondered - what's next? lol

I wonder already the last 5 - 6 moves how the position developed. White had more rooks, that are in our analogy quite old people, and Black had more knights = youngsters. Despite this the position developed more in favor of White. Hm, either the analogy didn't work or there is a situation like in 21th century, with reliable old workers and work-shy lazy youth, lol

22... Nxd4

Interesting comparison. But I think Black is better. Yes, I have four pawns and they are all active, but the rooks in the center of the board really interfere with the whole performance coaches.png

Second question! should a pawn SOMEHOW reach the enemy promotion squares, does it promote a la traditional rules of chess.?

 

comradM

Yes, on the square on last (first) rank the promotion occurs in traditional way. On the square the pawn left on the 7th (2nd) rank, there appears a knight

Pokshtya

a pawn can be promoted to a king also
