Hey,

What's the rule when a pawn reaches the other side of the board???

Okay, thanks.

Another question, does it matter if there's another queen, rook etc on board when it reaches the other side?

Thanks alot

Unless you want wolverines to make there way into chess, you should specify that the pawn must promote to a Queen, Rook, Bishop, or Knight of the same color.

I hope everyone knows that when you promote a pawn if the piece you are promoting to isnt available you may stop the clock until you get one or one is provided ? Many players seem unaware of this. I have seen players use a rook turned upside down to represent a queen before and I think thats not allowed by the rules anymore. Was it ever ?
