In a standard Chess game, you can promote a pawn to a queen as many times as you can successfully advance your pawns to the eighth rank. Since each pawn can only be promoted once, if you have multiple pawns, you can potentially promote several of them to queens. There is no upper limit on the number of queens you can have on the board, as long as you have enough pawns to promote. Thus, theoretically, you could have up to nine queens if all eight of your pawns are promoted, plus your original queen.

How does pawn promotion work in the game of chess?

In chess, pawn promotion occurs when a pawn reaches the opposite end of the board. The player can then choose to promote the pawn to any other piece (usually a queen, rook, bishop, or knight) to enhance its power on the board.


How do you tell which pawn is a queen?

Whenever a pawn reaches the 8th rank (the end of the board opposite that on which you started) you can promote that pawn. This means that you trade out that pawn for any piece you want. Note that it doesn't have to be a piece you've already lost during the game...you could have two queens out at the same time if you want. While in most cases it is best to "queen" your pawn, it is sometimes beneficial to "underpromote", or promote your pawn to a piece weaker than a queen. This is often done to a knight, since it's the one piece who can move in ways the queen can't. It also is sometimes worth promoting to a rook, in cases where promoting to a queen would put the opposing king in stalemate.


When Pawn at the end where does new queen start?

When a pawn reaches the other side of the board, you may choose to promote it to any piece, other than a king or a pawn. When a pawn is promoted, the new piece is located at the square it was moved to. (e.g. if you move to e7e8 then the new piece will be located at e8)


Where do you get the other queens if the pawn reaches the other side and you have not lost your queen?

If one of your pawns reaches your opponent's piece's row, you can choose to promote your pawn into a queen (or another piece such as a rook, etc). You can have more than one promoted piece, two or more queens, etc.


What is the move called when a pawn reaches the other side of the chess board?

This is called pawn promotion. When the pawn reaches the other side, it can promote to any other piece except pawn or king. Many players opt to promote their pawn to a queen, as it is the most powerful piece on the board (after the king, of course). However, this isn't always the best strategy; sometimes, a chess game can be won much faster and easier if the pawn promotes to a, say, knight. It's wise to consider what you're going to do with that promoted piece before you decide what to promote it to.


How do you promote in chess?
