Rules question:
Do pawns promote (optionally) on the 8th rank, as in Grand Chess, or on
the 10th rank?  The language of the rules states that the rule is the same
as Chess, but Chess only has 8 ranks...  I would assume they promote as in
Grand Chess, since this game is basically Grand Chess + an Amazon.  Of
course, if the game is a Grand Chess derivative, why then do the rules not
say 'rules are the same as Grand Chess, except...' instead of saying they
are the same as Orthodox Chess with exceptions?
