Pawns that are able to reach the other end of the board without obstruction get promoted to Queen

 

[Veronika]

Pawn to C8 / killing the black knight / promoted to a Queen

Victims of this game are:
Tír an Abhainn - the killed black knight - eliminated
Noizeland - the losing black king - eliminated
...
Tanoiro - the winning white king - pre-qualified!
No one qualified this time!

ugh, this was bloody!

Me quietly watching in the back confused as hell with how chess even works and then Uto dropping his post:

Not just queen, everything they wish to become if I'm right. If the queen is still in the game, they can become something else that was eliminated.

Yes, but even if there's a queen still on play from the pawn's side, the pawn can still become another queen, which is probably the usual move.

Official rules are not like that, you can always promote to a queen (back in the day we would use an upside down rook or a double pawn if the original queen was still on the board). Only in very specific circumstances is it better to promote to anything else, most often to prevent stalemate or sometimes to a knight as they can reach specific places and therefore can have tactical potential in some very peculiar positions.

Oh, I didn't know that. How can you distinguish it from the rest pawns, though?
