Explanation

When a pawn reaches the opposite end of the board (8th rank for White, 1st rank for Black), it must be promoted to another piece. This is called queening, though the pawn can actually be exchanged for a queen, rook, bishop, or knight. The term comes from queen being the most common choice.
