When a pawn reaches the opposite end of the chessboard, it can be promoted, typically to a queen, which is the most powerful piece in the game. This position is known as "promotion," and it often occurs during the endgame when players try to capitalize on material advantage. The new queen can immediately influence the game by controlling key squares and threatening the opponent's pieces. The strategic implications of promotion can significantly alter the outcome of a game.
