They can sneak backward more easily than the gold generals. You don't have to promote anything, except pawns and lances that reach the back rank or knights that reach the last two ranks. Not promoting silvers, knights and lances is clearly useful from time to time. Not promoting bishops, rooks and pawns turns up a lot in tsume-shogi but very very rarely if ever in real life: it's conceivably necessary becaause of the "can't mate by dropping a pawn" rule. --=20 Adam Atkinson (ghira mistral co uk) What's yellow and equivalent to the Axiom of Choice?
