OK, purchases will go as previous round this time, where unplaceable 
pieces won't be created. Well, they're created but go straight to hell.

I'll pause on activation given your (c)

I did put this at the top:

In the Chess Match Purchase Action, change {{ is created }} to {{ is 
queued to be created }}

I hoped ChessMaster's phrase about triggering after no moves were left was enough to cover your last part.

Thanks! I was just defeated in the first version of this game today on 
the other nomic, but only because I forgot I earlier promised to 
abdicate when there were only 2 kings on the field so others could rejoin.

To view the history of B's board you have to view the wiki history of 
the image itself, not the field page.

Better reporting is in order, but I think I may host some of it off-wiki 
to cut down on daily cut&pastes.
