[Bug-XBoard] [bug #27656] Autoqueen with premove

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27656 (project xboard):

I have given this some thought, and there seems to be a deep logical conflict
between not wanting the promotion dialog to pop up on invalid moves, and have
it pop up on a premove. Without a major re-design it does not seem possible to
have both.

Weighing all aspects it seems that having premoves autoqueen is the lesser
evil. Although perhaps -variant losers could be a problem; from what I
understand of that variant it would be more logical to have it autoking,
rather than autoqueen.

But in normal games underpromotion virtually never occur, and in the rare
case you need one, simply delaying it until it is your turn does not seem too
demanding.

So I am inclined to leave things as they are now.
