Did you know…? Pawn, the chess piece with less value, is a magic piece.

If the pawn dodges all the difficulties that are in its way during the game and is able to reach the other side of the board, it becomes a powerful queen, the most valuable piece. In chess, this metamorphosis is called promotion. If all of us, little pawns, we come together and we can reach the end of the road becoming ladies, we can win this battle.

 

Promote your pawn, take part on this chess online tournament #yomecorono
