    You cannot promote to King or Pawn. As such, your statement is wrong and i feel betrayed.

      I’d love to watch someone try to do this at a tournament. Just swapping out their pawn for an extra King with a deadpan expression.

        The game would end when any king is captured so having more than one (as opposed to making the pawn a queen) would be a strict disadvantage. I’d allow it.

          Incorrect, the game ends when a king cannot avoid capture. As such, your statement is wrong and I feel betrayed.

        I misunderstood the rules and shoved my king into my mouth, with a deadpan expression.

        Too bad they cut that out of a clip of Queen’s Gambit.

        Swap it for an enemy pawn.

        Granted, but checkmate on either of the kings = loss

        E: And now that I think about it, forking the kinds would also have to be a loss.

      Can’t be promoted to player either

        Pawns were players and players were pawns, once upon a time. Now that it’s the opposite it’s twice upon a time.
