Chess with Promoters. Missing description (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Board dimensions are 8x8, it is a mistake (mine) in the description, due to the fact I originally thought the game in 9x8, with Promoters to the left side of the Kings, but in 8x8 with promoters on e4 and e5 the game is much more interesting. Jared, the answer is NO, Promoters can not capture, neither promote. You can promote one of your Pawns to Promoter, but it makes not sense!. Some clarifications of the rules are needed: You can not promote a piece to Pawn in eight rank. I have thought a possible new rule, making more difficult the task of hidden your Promoter, here is the ALTERNATIVE RULE: You can not move your Promoter to a square adjacent to any of your pieces, but you can move your pieces to squares adjacent to your Promoter. I have tested the game in a physical board, and it is really interesting. I am going to prepare a ZRF soon.
