Subject: Test Legality of Shogi promotions
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?p=capablanca.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=b0878c4bb13c5ba03f6defe11f903fa07247b718;hp=2255d9155bc3e24104ce7a30edeff78fd6b4d53e

Test Legality of Shogi promotions

The old code would allow any drop, except Pawns on first and last rank,
which is actually too restrictive for Shogi (which does allow back-rank
Pawn drops). Only thing still missing is Pawn drop with mate.
