Getting passed pawns
So heres some examples we can get passed pawns when a piece is blocking the pawns way but we can stop it. Here's one:
That pawn is so close to promoting! But the bishop is blocking the square, so we move our bishop to C5 I know it looks crazy but it pins the bishop to the king and when the bishop takes the other bishop we deflect to C5 to let us promote our pawn on the next move to a queen.
Let's see some more positions of getting passed pawns when a piece is blocking the square the pawn wants to move to promote or just 1 square away for promotion:
So here, we give a check on H3 and then the only move for the king is to go to the 4th line and then we move our rook to H4 which we pin the rook and the king, the rook must take and it deflects the rook to somewhere that it isn't protecting the square that the white pawn can promote so we get to promote to a queen!
Lastly but not least:
Do you think that pawn takes B7 is correct? Let's see we are going to get promoted but the king can go to C7 and prevent promotion so what we actually have to do is move our pawn to B6 and then if the B 7 pawn takes us, we take the A7 pawn and the king isn't in the box of where it can get near our pawn for promotion if the A7 pawn takes our B6 pawn we still don't take the B7 pawn (Because the king can take our pawn because he's inside the square of how many squares there are for the pawn to make a promotion) we move our pawn to A7 and then we get to promote to a queen!
