You cannot promote to King or Pawn. As such, your statement is wrong and i feel betrayed.

I'd love to watch someone try to do this at a tournament. Just swapping out their pawn for an extra King with a deadpan expression.

The game would end when any king is captured so having more than one (as opposed to making the pawn a queen) would be a strict disadvantage. I'd allow it.

Incorrect, the game ends when a king cannot avoid capture. As such, your statement is wrong and I feel betrayed.
