Promote your pawn to a queen.

Your move

💡 Need a hint?

A pawn that reaches the last row must become a queen, rook, bishop or knight. Usually choose a queen — but sometimes a knight is even better!

What you learn here

Promotion: when a pawn reaches the other end it becomes a new piece of your choice (not a king). Most players choose a queen, the strongest piece — this board does that for you unless you switch “Auto-queen” off.
