Promotion animation wrongly moves piece to promotion square #78

An example is

If you replay the game, on move 49. a8=Q+, the queen comes flying from h6, where the white queen was captured on move 31.

Noticed the same issue

You have to imagine that the queen was killed and buried on h6, and then resurrects when the pawn goes to a8, that's why it flies from h6 to a8 :D

Unfortunately, the behaviour is not consistent. If you play through the moves in a different order, that flying does not happen. As far as I am concerned, the queen (or any other promotion piece) should just appear in place of the pawn.

fixed in upcoming update
