H.G., My pawn odds tests are almost completed, but I think that I am going to redo them as I think I found a way to implement the promo rule în fairy-max. Here how it goes : I use a second piece, say pawn 2, to optionally promote the pawn to at rank 8, then because pawn2 can GO only further at rank 9 he Will promote there to The apropiate piece or a pawn 3. Is that possible? If so how will The AI react to IT? Which value should I use for The Power of pawn2 and pawn3? I'm proposing bishop value for pawn2 and slightly below rook value for pawn3.
