Hello. I am someone who is a novice at the game of chess. I know how to move each piece, and understand the very VERY basic terminology. I have recently started playing chess again, but I really want to learn the game this time around. So I was playing with someone, and the game reached a point where his pawn made it to the last rank on the board. He promoted that piece to a queen. Then he said that once the pawn is promoted to a queen, that piece goes back to its original starting point. For example, if he is playing with white, his pawn reached f8, gets promoted to a queen, that piece then has to go back to its original starting point at d1. Is this true?!? It might be a dumb question, but it's one I am curious about.
help me

Good day,
It is very interesting what the game - Live 960, King of the Hill, Crasychess or Bugyhouse?

Incorrect. The promoted piece does not go back to its original square. If the pawn promotes to a queen on f8, than that is where the promoted piece starts the game.
