pawn promotion

Pawn promotion, but that refers to the final part. The pawn’s journey has no name.

The act of converting a pawn into a stronger piece when it reaches the 8th rank is called pawn promotion. Promotion to queen is called queening while promotion to a rook, knight or bishop is called under-promotion. The series of moves leading up to the promoting move is called a queening combination.

It is called pawn promotion. That is very hard to do but if u have a passed pawn(pawn that can’t be stopped with another pawn) u can get to the other side quickly.Also u choose a piece u want in replacement

“Pawn Promotion” is the proper term. “Queening” is not always an accurate term, because sometimes it benefits you to “under-promote” your pawn to a piece other than a Queen.

The rules state that if a pawn reaches the 8th rank (i.e. the farthest row of squares from its starting position), it must be promoted to any piece of its own color, except a King… so you can promote it to a Queen, a Rook, a Bishop, or a Knight.

Since the Queen is the most powerful piece on the board, it almost always makes sense to promote your pawn to a Queen. However, there are two instances in which you should promote to a lesser piece:

1) Sometimes, promoting your Pawn to a Knight produces an immediate “Knight fork”, a potentially dangerous and powerful chess tactic, and the Knight fork could prove decisive. A Queen can not fork in the same way that a Knight can.

2) The other reason to promote to something other than a Queen is if promoting to a Queen leads to an immediate “stalemate” position. In such cases, promoting to a Rook is often preferable, as long as THAT doesn’t lead to stalemate.

doubled pawns (two pawns vertically)
tripled pawns (three pawns vertically-rare)
passed pawn (no pawn opposition on both sides)
protected pawns (diagonal pawns)
pawn chain (three or more protected pawns)
once a pawn reaches the end, it can be promoted to a queen/rook/knight/bishop….”en-passant” is a little differant

It’s often called ‘queening’. (Most of the time the promoted piece is a queen.)

But it’s also just called pawn promotion.

No I don’t think they have a name for it.
