+promote
+
+Usage: promote {q,r,b,[kn]}
+
+ Designates the piece that a pawn will be promoted to when it reaches
+the back rank. This is set automatically at the beginning of each game
+to 'q'. The setting can be changed during the game at any point.
+
+SPECIAL NOTE: You must designate how a pawn will be promoted BEFORE it
+reaches the back rank, not afterwards. The current setting will be used when
+the pawn reaches the 8th rank.
