The rules are unclear on how to handle a move that involves both a capture and a promotion. If promotion is handled before the capture, this could result in a piece that can't move. Therefore, I assume that the XORing of a capturing piece always happens before promotion. I also presume that promotion is mandatory whenever a piece would otherwise be unable to move, but that it is optional otherwise. This interpretation of the rules will prevent the possibility of having pieces that can't move anywhere.
