Wrong, has nothing to do with knocking someone off. 😡

1. A promotion happens when a pawn gets to the back rank.
2. It signifies the pawn becoming a MUCH stronger piece.
3. While it can become any other piece except a king, this almost never happens. Almost always it becomes a Queen, the arguably most powerful piece on the board. Sometimes a rook, but we won't go into that.
4. This means our little @q has all grown up and become a major threat and critical piece: @Q.
5. This also happens late in the game, when defenses of your opponent have been broken and/or out maneuvered.
6. Usually signifies endgame. Not many moves left.
