Great job, bringing back dead forums.
Why can't you promote a pawn to king?

The new king would be worth as much as a knight. If you promote to a king, the king that was always a king is still the king that has to be checkmated.
Yeah, play a bunch of test games like that and let us know how much you like the normal way better.

I already did. The king that has to be checkmated has a saints logo on it. Capturing any other king does not win you the game, it just gives you 3 points if it is a free king. Also, any king besides the main king cannot castle. I tested it out by putting another king on e1 to see if it could castle.
we arent gonna let that happen bozo
im at least

Why can't you promote a pawn to king? Would that not make the game more interesting?
Update 4/17/15:
As we all know, what chess needs is more complexity to keep it interesting for the SM's (e.g. s̶a̶d̶o̶m̶a̶s̶o̶c̶h̶i̶s̶t̶s̶ Super Masters).
So assume you promote pawns, you can now get kings.
*But*, you aren't allowed to *win* with more than one king on the board, you have to *demote* extraneous kings to pawns, which happens when a demoted king reaches one of the four center squares.
The center squares lose this transformative effect when there is only one king of the color on the board. This prevents a promotion/demotion cycle in one or two moves. You can't demote the last king to a pawn.
Well let’s say your about to get checkmated but you promote to king next move and basically teleporting your king somewhere else and then they can just take the other king but you have spare
