Since the site upgrade I noticed a pawn is automatically upgraded to a queen rather than giving me a choice of other pieces.Probably Im doing something wrong,any ideas ?

See if you can drag it off the board and then replace it with another piece. Or maybe right click on it to see if it brings up any choices.

Hi Tony

Swiss Gambit and I tested the game system way back in March. Game 9863358
We tested conditional moves, three fold rep etc..etc..
We had an under promtion in that game (move 9).

It was actually SG that under promoted perhaps he can tell us how he did it.
But I do know you do get a choice. (well you did back in March)

As soon as you move the pawn (and before you click submit) a choice comes up to the right of the board.

Im assuming the same thing happens when playing on the phone (?)
