I hadn't noticed that the rules page gives the promotion zones as on two levels. (Or more probably, I had forgotten. In the comment thread on the rules page this is brought up twice.) I actually cannot find anything to back up that version; the following all support what I assumed in writing the rules for this preset:

Unless someone knows why two levels were allowed in the rules page, perhaps it should be changed.
(On the other hand, the "forward/up" pawn capture seems to have been intended by Maack; I just didn't allow it in this preset because of personal preference.)
