 Kid Chess Academy: Pawn Promotion
These pieces start out life in a chess game as what they are (rooks, knights, etc.), they fulfill their role in the game as determined by you, the player; and when they get captured, well, they're gone.
And the way that a pawn gets promoted is to work its way down the board, one square at a time (remember?), until it reaches the last row or rank where it can't move forward any further simply due to being at the edge of the board.
You may already be wondering if you have to hold off promoting a pawn to a queen if you've still already got your queen on the board with which you started.
