Oops -- missed that about the magic carpet squares. Hmm, if Pawns promoted to Generals can't promote again, it's necessary to distinguish them from Generals that can promote. They should have a different letter for notation purposes, and possibly a different name, and of course a different piece in face-to-face play.
