Progress is made and the board grows, the black side hectic moving in its own way while the white moves in an ordered manner. Will chaos reign or is order the path?

More pieces are brought into play more angles of attack open. The first fork of the game is born the bishop threatens the pawn, and the pawns each other. New paths to each other's rear lines open, as new forces are brought to the field.

Okay. This is me entering "I have no idea what I am doing" territory. Hopefully that answers the question why I put the Bishop down on Turn 2.

Okay Neville you have just one error I can see that is you can't place the new 2x2 overlapping the existing board.
Dammit. I hoped this was an allowed move. Unfortunate.
Can the pawns be promoted if there is no enemy Guard on the board?

Edit: turn corrected.
Pawns can be promoted only adjacent to a guard, if none are on the board only on adjacent to the king. But the king can Capture promoted pawns if it is otherwise legal

Fed into the war machine two pawns die. Sacrificed by each side. A fair trade? Or a waste of life? It matters not what they are, for they are pieces of no value but what they give to the coming victory.

Do you denote Check/Mate when placing a piece?
Please tell me if the turn is correct and what the rules for promotions are.
1) Can a newly placed (not promoted!) piece place the enemy King in check? (I can see no reason for why it can not, but...)
2) If a pawn was promoted last turn, does enemy Fool count as a pawn, or as a new spawned piece? (My guess is "pawn")
3) When does a passive promotion happen?
What happens if enemy King steps next to a pawn? In theory, that means you can promote the pawn, so logically a promotion can only happen at the end of the turn, or the King would place himself in Check, or start the turn in Check, both of which would be in violation of the rules.
Does it count as a separate turn, though, when it happens passively? Or do you get to move a piece AND promote any pawns that ended up close to enemy Guards?

If a Guard steps close to my pawn, I can promote it. When do I? During the enemy turn, at the beginning of my turn, at the end of my turn? Can I move the passively promoted piece on the turn following the Guard's? What happens if the Guard stays in place and a pawn spawns next to it? When can I promote it?

Oh. This is unexpected. I thought you could do that. So it turns out that so long as bG1 doesn't move, wP9 is a dead weight. Can't move, can't promote.
I'll be adjusting my turn, then, by moving the spawning location of wP9. However, where I move it to depends on the answer to the following question:
If a pawn ends up next to a Guard on a diagonal tile (such as it can take it), can it choose to move vertically or horizontally instead? Technically it still reduces the distance to the Guard in a single direction.
Can a [wP] move into one of those "x" squares next to [bG], and get promoted?
_x_| bG
------------
wP |_x_
Edit: and a follow-up question. Can a pawn move behind the Guard? I.e. can a pawn that didn't move before make a double move and overshoot past the Guard? Would large "X" be a valid move if [wP] never moved before?
_X_| _o_
------------
_x_| bG
------------
wP |_x_

Chess uses Taxicab distance normally so yes on the moving to position.
As for double move pass also yes.
Pawns adjacent to Guards can capture on the diagonals to the other orthogonal Guard spaces.
wP|bG
xX|bB
wP×bB is a valid move.

The king must run as pawns show up, their blade that of the queen now. The power has shifted will black be left to slowly die or can they recover that loss?

Ah, yes, this is the kind of shenanigans I was afraid of.
Alright, I guess I need to ensure that no further checks are possible, and also that no more enemy pieces get to move except the King by placing him in check.
...but I am then threatened an eventual checkmate by =B3 -E-6. Tricky.
Fine, have a Queen on the house.

king and tile is almost forced, but two things we could do either than guard is spawn in pawns or a bishop in new tile.Two Pawns gets us a check mate. Pawns can cover by moving down or right correct? Just can have more checks with pawns. A bishop can be a line to somewhat box in B-King but is more expensive in that it could just spawn in a check next turn. Guard is fine too as B-pawns can't promote when spawning.

Had to change my turn 3 times. I don't have enough experience with this.
Checks are a nightmare. They force a move, which means you skip a move, and your opponent can place figures on the board in the meantime.
