3.A Pawn can be promoted if it advances all the way to the far side of the board. It is immediately promoted, as part of the same move, into a Queen, Rook, Bishop, or Knight, whichever its owner chooses. Since a Queen is the most powerful piece, it is nearly always chosen as the promo- tion piece. Through the promotion process, there may be more than one Queen on the board at the same time.
