Consider the statements about pawn promotion in chess: 1) A pawn can promote to any piece except king or pawn on reaching the other side. 2) Pawns can only promote to previously captured pieces. Which of the statements is/are correct?
Only 1 is Correct
Statement 1 (correct): When a pawn reaches the opponent's back rank (the eighth rank for White, first rank for Black), it must be promoted to a queen, rook, bishop or knight of the same colour. It cannot remain a pawn and cannot become a king.
Statement 2 (incorrect): The piece chosen for promotion need not have been captured earlier. A player may have, for example, two queens on the board simultaneously by promoting a pawn even when the original queen is still on the board.
Hence only Statement 1 is correct — option (1).
