HG: I took your suggestions and attempted to re-write the section on the promotion. I think I used the name Wildebeast everywhere, except in the Introduction. (I can't find the misspelling) When I wrote the code, I assumed that the Horseman could get to the promotion zone with more ease than a pawn. I guessed that there would be more promotions in this game. Can a king and two horseman put a bare king in checkmate? I will try this and run some tests. If the answer is yes, I like my promotion rules "as is". If the answer is no. I probably should fix/adjust the promotion rules. If you dislike the promotion rule, I am open to suggestions. I think I have 1 vote from dax for promotion to other pieces like knight, rook, bishop, etc.
