Why is there a chess piece on the cover of breaking dawn?

The chess pieces represent how Bella changed throughout the book. In Breaking Dawn, Bella goes from the weakest player (the red pawn) to the strongest player, (the white queen). The pawn is the weakest piece compared to all other pieces used in chess (such as humans are much weaker compared to vampires). The queen is a strong piece that is the backbone of the chess game (the queen represtents the new and improved vampire Bella)


In chess when a pawn crosses the chess board do you get your queen back?

In chess, when a pawn has crossed the board and reaches the last rank, that pawn is promoted. In promotion, the promoting player can claim any piece he wishes. It doesn't matter what he has or doesn't have on the board at the time. This sets the stage for more than one queen or more than two rooks, two bishops or two knights of the same color to be on the board at one time. If you had lost your queen previously, then you can "get your queen back" as asked. It is unusual for a player promoting a pawn to claim anything but a queen. The queen can do anything a rook or bishop can do, and might actually be said to "combine" the moves of both pieces. But there are rare cases where is it of benefit to ask for a knight, as this piece cannot be blocked when it attacks. In what is called under-promotion, the player might elect to take something other than the queen. Such a tactic might allow a player to increase his ability to attack without creating a stalemate because of a positional situation. As stated, the player promoting a pawn has choice of pieces, and must select either queen, rook, bishop or knight.


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

When a pawn reaches the other side of the board it can be exchanged for any other piece except a king. The choice is not limited to pieces that have been captured. This means that a person can get another queen for every pawn that reaches the other side and have several queens at the same time.


Where does the player go that reaches the other side of the chess board?

Reaching the end of the chess-board is only significant to the pawn who then can be promoted to any chess piece other than the King .

Can a pawn get anything back if it got to the end of the board?

I've not played chess for years ! If you manage to get a pawn all the way across the board - you can exchange it for any piece from the back row (except the King). Therefore - in theory, you could have more than one queen, or more than two bishops, rooks or knights.

A bishop become 'bad' when the diagnols are closed by pawn blockages its a good idea to exchange them for equal pieces since you can't do much with a bad bishop but nothing can be taken as a rule of thumb it all depends on the position. Sometimes even a pawn is powerful than a queen.
