[edit] Pawn promotion
- 6.6.4 PAWN promotion: On reaching the last rank, a pawn must be immediately exchanged, as part of the same move, for a queen, a rook, a bishop, or a knight of the same color as the pawn, at the player's choice and without taking into account the other pieces still remaining on the chessboard. This exchanging of a pawn is called 'promotion' and the action of the promoted piece is immediate.
"A queen, a rook, a bishop, or a knight". Not a king! -- Curps 11:30, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Use of animated images
I believe that the article, in fact all articles, are better off without animated images. In chess articles, there is no need for them, since a diagram with arrows can illustrate moves quite well. Wikipedia doesn't need distractions like this. --Yath 21:40, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
In matter of fact, I strongly believe in the use of animated ilustration in an electronic Encyclopedia like this one, and your point about being distracted by this kind of image it's a sort of POV, in fact no one else made an observation like this one before. Jfreyre
