Nice concept and very cleanly explained, however the example might be
flawed, since e1-d2 should be illeagal for it moves white king into
check, because the black king has the backing of a queen so it can
move as a queen and take take the white king in the next move. a
black bishop instead of queen would work.

Thanks for bringing that up. I didn't realize it at the time when I made the example. e1-d2 IS illegal in this example. If instead of a black queen, it could be a knight, bishop, or pawn. I should see if Peter can modify this.

This would ofcourse mean that you won't promote into a queen if you take
your pawn to the 8th rank. That would gain you nothing and your opponent
get another Queen possibillity.
The strategies behind this game is rather fun to think about.
You don't want to take all your opponents pieces 'cause you'll loose
easier.
I think I'll like it when I get around to play test it.

Tomas
