An aside: Promoter, wuss and anti-king are pieces that will actually weaken position of person who possesses them. So they will have negative value. Unlike the Royal King, which is also weakening but plays a strong role of positive value in many endgames, they will, almost without exception, never strengthen any position (possibly as a placeholder, in a very rare circumstance, they might help).

What other pieces might be in this category? Weakening, negative pieces.
