Always autopromoting to Queen, but preference is only when premoving

In Lichess V2, my pawns are autopromoting to Queen every single time. My settings preference is to only autopromote to queen when I do a premove. When I promote a pawn without premove, it used to give me a choice: B, R, N, Q

Please honor my settings preference and only autopromote during a premove. See this game as reference lichess.org/Is1bso1TyqvO

@damabi When keyboard moves is enabled, you're supposed to enter promotion choices with the keyboard (a8=n) and the promotion selector is disabled.

Okay, but I think this is new behaviour? Is there a CHANGELOG doc which details what's new with the latest version?

Although, it still doesn't really make sense. Setting = autopromote Queen on premove only. Reality = autopromote Queen always.

#2 is correct. I used to be able to type h8=R, like this:

#2 doesn't work when making moves with the mouse. I typed =N in the input box and moved gxh8 with the mouse, but it still promoted a queen.

Incidentally, when you ask the computer for a takeback before it has made its own move, it takes back its last move in addition to yours.

@RapidVariants You have to typed the whole move with your keyboard, like #3.

If you don't use the keyboard, you can disable it here: lichess.org/account/preferences/game-behavior

That's ridiculous. If keyboard move input means you can't input moves reliably with the mouse, enabling keyboard move input should automatically disable mouse move input.

I agree, and I'll try to skip the promotion mouse selector only when the move was entered with the keyboard.

> When keyboard moves is enabled, you're supposed to enter promotion choices with the keyboard (a8=n)

Unexpected disappearance of the selector aside, I'd just like to point out a little-known rule in the FIDE laws for those who might enjoy keyboard input, and not know this already with reference to notation for promotions:

The = is not required in algebraic notation for promotions!

Wikipedia says = is used in PGN, but is not FIDE standard (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess)#Pawn_promotion) and they're correct - this is what Appendix C.11 in the "Fide Laws of Chess taking effect from 1 January 2018" says:

"C.11 In the case of the promotion of a pawn, the actual pawn move is indicated, followed immediately by the abbreviation of the new piece. Examples: d8Q, exf8N, b1B, g1R." (www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=208&view=article)

It turns out that keyboard input in Lichess does actually support FIDE's notation - a8n will indeed underpromote to a knight and the equal sign is not necessary.

well，goodluck
