Promoted Pawn (as gold) | 7 point |
Point of the promoted Pawn is worth noting. When promoted, it's power is equivalent of the gold general. However, once captured it a mere pawn, a value of one point. Therefore, it is powerful yet expendable. This will earn a special point when calculating the game status.
