Re: Promoting a pawn.
Are you double clicking the piece you select to promote to? You should just single click.

Re: Promoting a pawn.
When viewing the game, can you press "ctrl+shift i". This will bring up the "developer tools", click on the tab that's labeled "console", then try to make your move. Let me know if anything appears in the console log.

Re: Promoting a pawn.
Unfortunately "Google" isn't a browser. I'm not able to reproduce that issue in any browser I try. You can still make the move my typing c7c8=Q into the move box. If you can try to figure out which browser and version you're using, it might help me fix it for future instances.

Using the new interface you should get a popup to select what piece to promote to. What game is it? What browser are you using?

New board interface to become the default
A new board interface has been in beta for about 3 years now, users have been able to select it under their profile as the "Experimental" interface. In the next few weeks, the new interface will become the default (for anyone having their preferences set to "Auto"). A link to see what the new interf...

Re: All Ratings Will Be Reset to 1500 at end of year...
If the ratings there are out of whack, resetting them all to 1500 and letting them adjust naturally is a pretty bad way of trying to fix it. They could run a simulation as if they reset every rating to 1500 at some certain point in the past, then use all of the past games to update the ratings. Taki...
