I still don't get why the previous way wasn't working since I wasn't changing the pawn subroutine which seems to modify promotion options before the last rank.

The Pawn subroutines are only for actual moves, but nothing was being done to handle variable values of wprom or bprom for potential moves. The stalemated subroutine was supposed to provide a list of all legal moves, but it was omitting moves where someone declines promoting a Pawn. By having functions that dynamically calculate what a piece may promote to, it is now able to provide an accurate list of legal moves for games with variable promotion rules, such as Gross Chess has.

Anyway, this reveals another, but more minor, problem, which is that when a pawn gets to the promotion zone the text in the option selection box is large enough that the lines overlap slightly.

I increased the line-height and made some changes to the borders.
