Rule reminderPawns reaching the last 3 ranks can optionally promote to a piece in the 'reserve', which accumulates the captured pieces. The table on the right shows which pieces are available at any time in the 'nr' columns. Promotion is mandatory on the last rank, and if the reserve is empty moving a Pawn there is not allowed. In this case the Pawn can still deliver check. Castling is not possible. |
