minor tweek to auto promote to queen

Auto promote to queen is a nice feature, although sometimes you forget that it's on, and you go to promote and it causes a stalemate. In such events where the computer detects a stalemate it would be nice if instead of auto promotion that function were disabled, and it makes you actually select the stalemate piece on your own... or another if you caught it in time.
If it does that then the game is helping the player artificially because it's stopping you from stalemating. You have to turn it off before hand.
Hold Ctrl while moving the pawn to the promotion square to temporarily turn off auto-queening.
