   What do you mean?? If you can get your pawn to the last row, you can change it to anything. You will probably want to change to a queen, unless you want to irritate your opponent :D

   Thanks. Go seems to be easier. I was also thinking to fallback to domino if I can completed the project for a chessboard.

    The cracking tool John The Ripper is highly configurable. I don't know about Cain and Abel. You can avoid running a full brute force attack by identifying the most common password patterns and generate passwords based on them. Eg: any word
