'So, rule 5, if a pawn comes out of the Tardis on Rank 8, presumably, it can promote, right? If it comes out on the first rank, does it have a two or three initial square step? If it comes out on the second rank, does it have a two square initial step?' Yes, it can promote if it comes out on rank 8, and if it comes out on rank 1 it can make 2 or 3 step movement, but is subject to en passant anywhere along the way.
'If I am putting your king in check on the move the Tardis is destined to return, and there is no way for the Tardis to intercede, what happens? For example, if my opponent's king is on e1 and I check him on e2 with my queen on the move that your tardis is destined to return, what then? In Gifford's Time Travel Chess, this is addressed by saying that the time travelling piece is 'lost in time.'' No. You can move the Tardis and make a normal move- look at rule 2 in movements. It is impossible for a piece to get lost in time.
