My 7 year old daughter taught me how to play about 6 months ago. She learned in school. After about three weeks of her beating me I got an app on my phone and learned some tactics and she hasnāt won a game sinceā¦ A good life lesson for herā¦
Iād never ever played before in my lifeā¦ Its not actually half as complicated to play as I thought

Promotion of a pawn is a rule of chess.
Promotion in chess is a rule that requires a pawn that reaches the eighth rank to be replaced by the playerās choice of a bishop, knight, rook, or queen of the same color.[1] The piece chosen cannot be another king nor another pawn. The new piece replaces the pawn on its square on the same move. The choice of the new piece is not limited to pieces previously captured, thus promotion can result in a player owning, for example, two or more queens despite starting the game with one.[2]

Pawn promotion, or the threat of it, often decides the result in an endgame.

I worked for ANZ bank in London years ago. The Finance Director asked if anyone had ever played chess. I said I played in school 15 years prior. He said āyouāll doā. I played in the City of London chess league with ANZ for one game. They just needed a 4th man. The others on our team - one had played on the world chess tour, one was UK U25 champion and the other was London U21 champion. We won 3 and a half to a half. I bored my opponent into a draw!!!

After the game, my opponent asked me āwhose opening moves were those?ā. I hadnāt a fucking clue what he was going on about. I only realised years later that the chess lads learn off by heart the moves of the chess masters.
