Rules :: How do promotions work?
The pawn is the only chess piece that cannot move backwards, when it gets to the end of the board, it can promote to whatever other piece it wants (except a King) of its own color.

   

When the pawn moves to the last rank, it promotes to another piece (most often people will choose a Queen as that is the strongest piece).
