Would this mean there is a limit on placing the new pieces? If yes any sample situation?


Indeed, you are only allowed to gate when moving a virgin piece. After you moved all back-rank pieces, what you would have left in hand becomes worthless. (This is something Fairy-Max does not take into acount in its eval, but I biased it heavily towards having the pieces on board, so it usually gates them at the ealiest opportunity, ad I have never seen it run out of gating opportunities before it deployed E and H.)

Another thing I forgot to mention: with castling, you can gate at the Rook or the King square (but not both). Gating at the King square is written normally: (say) e1g1h or O-O/H. For gating at the Rook WinBoard no uses h1e1h or (ugly) Rxe1/H. The user also enters it by dragging the Rook on top of the King. In the future I might still change the SAN notation. (But the protocol notation h1e1e will stay as it is.)
