Why should I add it as a default? Why would it be "state of the art"? I think it
would make Aristarch weaker. There are lots of other move classes that Aristarch
never plays - I think this is okay because it makes Aristarch strong. I am sure
that there are even professional engines that do under-promotion only in the
first two plies.
