A yes, this was something I couldn't test, because WinBoard doesn't accept dressed letters as promotion suffix yet. This was a bit of a subtle bug: the quote suffix was initialized to 0 when entering the MoveToText routine, and then set to a quote if promotion to the 7th piece type occurred before being printed. But by an oversight the suffix had been declared as a static char, so the initialization did not work on every call of MoveToText, but only at program start. So once a move with quote suffix was printed, all promotions would from then on be printed with this suffix. (But WinBoard happily ignored that.)

I uploaded a fixed version to the same link.
