oddjob!matt mentioned in his article that it was often hard to
keep track of captured pieces which had been promoted pawns.
The way I've always played Siamese, a promoted pawn turns
back into a pawn as soon as it is captured after being
promoted.  It's a nice way of playing because you don't
have to worry about whether something's really a pawn or
a piece, and because it introduces some interesting
complications (e.g. it's OK to sac a Queen if it'll turn
back into a pawn once it falls into the enemies' hands).
