Promotion

Freezes after moving a pawn to the last rank.
It would be nice to at least promote to the piece that is mentioned in the PNG.
Otherwise, of course it is more educational to ask the user to which piece he/she wants to promote.

I had the issue on two setups: Anki 2.1.12 (windows 10) and AnkiDroid 2.9.4 (which seems to run JS naively)

Hi @lovac42,

I figured at that buy adding the following scripts to the card, we get the dialog-box for selecting promotion pieces:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/container/assets/skins/sam/container.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/button/assets/skins/sam/button.css">
<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/yahoo-dom-event/yahoo-dom-event.js"></script>
<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/element/element-min.js"></script>
<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/button/button-min.js"></script>
<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/container/container-min.js"></script>

However, after choosing the piece, the state of the board goes back to the state before the promotion.

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

You might have better luck with it.
