@Fergus: it is possible that this question has been asked before. When a game is played with GC, there is box appearing with captured pieces. This is quite useful to immediatly visualise the material advantage or disadvantage.
But when a piece is promoted, that initial piece also appears as a captured one. And then, the impression given by this box is wrong. The promoted piece has not been captured, it has not really left the board. It has just changed its form.
I would find more useful that the origal piece-before-promotion is not added to the list of captured pieces. What do you think?
