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.

∙ 10y agoWhen a pawn reaches the 8th rank it is immediately promoted - changed into a different game piece. It can be promoted into a Rook, Knight, Bishop or Queen - as the most powerful piece, with the moving power of both Bishop and Rook, the Queen is usually chosen. But with certain game states, a Knight may be more useful.

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.
