No.793 by Krassimir Gandev – Long and complicated play with an exotic material! (JV)
Definitions:
Royal Piece: Piece that executes a function of the King on the board.
Dummy King (Royal Dummy Piece): A King which cannot move.
Wazir (WE): (0+1) Leaper, e.g., a1 to a2; a1 to b1.
Berolina Super Pawn (BS): It is Berolina-Pawn but its moves and captures are respectively extended to the entire diagonal and the entire column.
Berolina-Pawn(BP): Walk and capture are swapped relative to the orthodox Pawn. The Berolina-Pawn moves without capturing diagonally (possibly two squares if it is on the second row of its side) and captures vertically.

6 B promotions are a remarkable achievement, but I don’t like using fairy pieces just to facilitate such orthodox motives.
I suppose that a promotion to Dummy is not allowed, otherwise it would obviously be cooked in 10 moves or so (with Royal Wazir on a1).
Bala showed the maximum of 8 bishop promotions recently using the fairy condition ABC chess. Probably it has been shown earlier also by others.
