minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoYou can promote to anything
minus-squareBigmouse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoYou cannot promote to King or Pawn. As such, your statement is wrong and i feel betrayed.
minus-squareGrabtharsHammer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoPawns were players and players were pawns, once upon a time. Now that it’s the opposite it’s twice upon a time.
minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoI’d love to watch someone try to do this at a tournament. Just swapping out their pawn for an extra King with a deadpan expression.
minus-squareDrRatso@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-28 months agoGranted, but checkmate on either of the kings = loss
minus-squareArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoThe game would end when any king is captured so having more than one (as opposed to making the pawn a queen) would be a strict disadvantage. I’d allow it.
minus-squareSotuanduso@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoIncorrect, the game ends when a king cannot avoid capture. As such, your statement is wrong and I feel betrayed.
minus-squaretaiyang@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoI misunderstood the rules and shoved my king into my mouth, with a deadpan expression. Too bad they cut that out of a clip of Queen’s Gambit.

Can’t be promoted to player either
