-> The only ways I can get a pawn promoted using either the WIMP
-> interface for GNU chess version 3 on PC or the algebraic (text) input
-> of version 4 on an Acorn are:
-> 1) temporarily change sides
-> 2) edit the board
-> There must be a better way?

I believe you are the same individual who found gnu chess within a 1991
book.  There's a newer version.  I got it from a BBS, so can't help with
ftp sites, but promotion works.
