you can choose to turn it into any piece (usually you would turn it into a queen, but under certain circumstances, you might want a knight) If you get your pawn to the other side then you get to return one of the peaces you lost It becomes a queen. It becomes a queen.

The object of the game isn't to get your pawns to the other side...the object is to move your pieces in a strategic way to where your opponent cannot move their king without losing....which is when "checkmate" happens

If one of your pawns reaches the other end of the board you may trade that pawn for any Chess piece you have lost.

Actually, you can trade it for any piece at all -- you can finish a game with 2 queens if you promote a pawn. The only pieces that are not available are a second king, one of your opponent's pieces, or a pawn (that would just have to sit as a blocking piece on the promotion square).

Surprisingly, there are artificial positions that can be created where each of the last two promotions would actually be an advantageous move!

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.
