Indeed the bar is rather low on chess.com...

The problem I had is with the clarity of your description, and your latest message doesn't really solve it. You say there "if two of them are put in check AFTER YOUR MOVE, you win". The presence of the word put is what confuses me. Why is it there? Why don't you simply say "if two of them are in check AFTER YOUR MOVE, you win"? The latter is unambiguous, as it refers to a state. But when you say 'are put' it refers to a transition, and raises the question what should be the state before the transition. As there would not be any transition if that state was the same.

I was not doubting that  Roses are a liability, and giving the opponent more is to your advantage. I was just wondering why this had to be done in such a complex way. If the Pawn would just change into an enemy Rose on the promotion square, the opponent would also have an extra Rose.
