9 Oct 2000 None Rather like an entry I created but forgot to submit (oops). My entry allowed for pawns to promote upon reaching the rearmost two squares, and had some new pawn moves to allow the outer pawns to get there. Additionally, I created a new pawn move called a "side sac" which a pawn may capture an opposing pawn to its left or right if the square behind the opposing pawn is vacant, but upon performing such a capture it is removed from the game as well. This helped considerably to open up the center of the board when the pawns got gridlocked.
