@Fergus: maybe you didn't understand my point. "Suppose that in Chess, a player queens a Pawn, then it gets captured. Would it be more informative to show a Queen or a Pawn in the Captured Pieces section?" I would say the Pawn, or it could be the Queen as well, but is not my point.

My point is if a Pawn is queened, then the Pawn is shown among the captured pieces even when the new Queen is onboard. That doesn't show the balance in my opinion.

I would have the piece figuring among the captured ones only when it has been captured, either in its original or its promoted form.
