A rank in Chess can have two meanings. First, it means the skill level of a chess player as compared to other players. Secondly, it is used to denote a horizontal row of squares on a chessboard. For example, the squares that encompass the 2nd rank are a2, b2, c2, d2, e2 and so forth. A file is the opposite of a rank in that it is a vertical column of squares.

In chess when do you get an extra queen?

In chess, a player can get an extra queen by promoting a pawn that reaches the opponent's back rank (the eighth rank for White or the first rank for Black). Upon reaching this rank, the player can replace the pawn with a queen, regardless of the number of queens already on the board. This promotion can significantly enhance a player's chances of winning, as queens are powerful pieces.
