I just finished a game where I promoted a pawn, which my opponent immediately took. The row of pieces taken that appears below the board showed I had lost a queen, which I suppose is right; but it seems like it would be more accurate to show that I had lost a pawn.

If this is added, I prefer a list of the differences because it is much less cluttered. For example, in a middle game where each side lost one of each piece and Black lost four pawns to White's three, the display shows just one Black pawn.
+P = up a pawn
P v R = pawn v rook.
-N = down a knight.
Works even better with pics of pieces.
I think that's a little clearer than your idea of showing a black pawn, if black is down a pawn. Not quite as intuitive, I think.

Originally posted by RagnorakI agree with you. I noticed that Fritz has a window that shows pieces the way I explained, but with the colors inverted, so it is the relative strength difference. So in my example above, a white pawn is shown not a black one.

I think this change makes this idea match yours if I understand it.
