If I get promoted to queen, does that mean I must don women's clothing?

Apologies if this battle is happening too fast. I had a feeling that if I waited for collaboration on every move, it would drag on forever. I will be out of town tomorrow and on the computer significantly less over the weekend, so that should slow things down considerably. Moves will still be taken in the order they're posted, but at least everyone should have more time to advance in a more even distribution. Of course the downside is that the third or fourth person to post might see the board altered before their turn. If that screws up someone's strategy (assuming this battle uses "strategy") I apologize. I won't do it on purpose.
