A

Pawn can be promoted if it advances

all the way to the far side of the board. It

is immediately promoted, as part of the

same move, into a Queen, Rook, Bishop,

or Knight, whichever its owner chooses.

Since a Queen is the most powerful piece,

it is nearly always chosen as the promo-

tion piece. 

Through the promotion

process, there may be more than one

Queen on the board at the same time.
