It is not necessary that pawns be promoted to queens. In some circumstances under-promotion is better, yet your original post could be read by the overly critical as claiming that pawns only may be promoted to queens.

I like pawns because they start as lowly chess men, and then become queens. They are the most progressive pieces.
Of course they do not always become queens. Most never promote as they are captured in the battle, or the battle takes place elsewhere. Sometime they mate the opposing king without the prior change in gender.
There was nothing exclusive in my statement. I like it when they become knights and rooks, too. Once I promoted a pawn to a bishop to illustrate mate with two bishops to a student, although the queen could have made the same moves.
However, pawns are my favorite pieces when they become queens. I enjoy the transformation. I believe it carries interesting symbolic significance. A pawn in drag is a beautiful creature, and most powerful.

Why do you keep on posting the URL of an "unreliable" site?
