Conditional move Q&A

I just got the same content coding error as well with Firefox 3.0.3 with Windows. My conditional move still shows as you said. I was promoting a pawn though and while my conditional move shows a pawn on the bank rank, I never got a chance to designate which piece I could promote my pawn to. As my opponent has no choice as to their next move, the condition is sure to be applied. It will be interesting to see what happens.

This problem has now been fixed.

A silly mistake that slipped past testing because I turned off page compression when testing. Lesson learned.

Yes, the conditional move worked fine for me just now.

I can confirm that this is fixed now.

Can you promote pawns on conditional moves? I couldn't work out how to tell it I wanted a queen. I even shouted into the mouse.

This is not possible right now.

The next iteration of this will make it available.

can you do an empasant pawn conditional move

I can't find deep mode. I'd like to make a series of conditional moves. Is this possible? I thought I saw it before.

Nevermind. Found it.

I uncovered a conditional move problem. I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, but I've just started out here. I tried setting up a conditional move on a specific game. I opened with e4 and then set up a condition so that if my opponent moved d5 then I would move Nf6. My opponent then deleted the game. Now, the conditional move is stuck in my list of conditional moves and can not be deleted (as the game no longer exists).

Is there a thread that explains conditional moves?

Let me see if I understand your problem:
You started with 1w. e2e4, right?
Then you will set the conditional move so if he moves 1b. d7d5, then you will automatically move 2w. Ng8f6, right?
Sorry, I don't think the conditional move will allow you to do that...

This thread will explain the deep movde of the conditional moves: Thread 107673

Why not include this text in the FAQ?

I posted this query separately already, but then I saw you had a Conditional Move thread here. I was wondering why when you make a legal en passant move in your conditonal move that the site thinks it an error. I know that I played it correctly. Glitch in the system perhaps? Can this be fixed? I appreciate your time in this matter.

Am I able to promote a pawn to a Queen if I still have a Queen on the board?
Thank you.
