If a piece moves to the eighth rank with a pawn move, I believe it
promotes to any piece in the opening array, right ?
Correct, since 'The rules of Potential/Demotion Chess are identical to those of orthodox chess, except when noted otherwise.'
As for a 7x7 board without a Queen? Er, I don't know -- there's already too much power for an 8x8 board -- shrinking the board by 23% while retaining two pieces that are effectively Amazons and two that are effectively Cardinals might be even more brutal.
