This one of mine is similar
Game 13421077
I remember that most of the latter moves in this game were made whilst I was travelling on the M62 motorway. Hurrah for mobile data!

@knightstalker47 saidWhen you're setting up the pieces how do you know which is the white light squared bishop and which the dark squared one?
No, chess sets only have one white lightsquared bishop so if you tried to promote a pawn to one and you already had one in play, you wouldn't have one to put on the board.

@deepthought saidI like to draw a black spot on my white-dark-squared-bishop and a white spot on my black-light-squared-bishop. 😀

@deepthought saidThe one with the slit on the left is the dark square one and the light squared one has the slit on the right.

OK since everyone else was too lazy....I looked up the "Official" rules of chess. A pawn may be promoted to any piece (except a pawn., and yes I know a pawn is not a piece). Also, it must be of the same color that you are using. In other words, if you have the Black pieces in a game, you can't promote to a white piece.

@ogb saidReminds me of the time during an elementary school tournament my daughter captured her own pawn on the 7th rank with a knight forking the other player's king and queen.
