When I have a pawn on the 7th rank, I can't queen it. I've tried every
method of expressing the move that I can think of, with no success. The
problem is consistent, it happens every time. Has this been reported
before ? GnuChess's response is what it would be if you'd entered an
illegal move (ie. it just sits there until you enter a legal move).
