What are the en-passant and promotion rules? If a White Sergeant (a dashing one?) that has reached e5 respond to d7-d5 with e5xd6 ep? To d7-f5 with e5xe6 ep? Is there any restriction to promotion to a captured piece? Can a player with, for example, one array Rook and one promotee Rook recover the second array Rook?
White sergeant e7, White king f6, black king g8. White to play, Se8=R=Rh1# is this legal? (plain English for Se8=R=Rh1# is Sergeant moves to e8, promotes to Rook, then since a rook is checking, a rook is resurrected at h1, which incidentally covers the flight square h7, completing the checkmate.) I don't see why not, but some games have provisos against these kind of checkmate-via-drops thing, so I thought I'd just ask.
