| Jul 16, 2016 at 5:10 | comment | added | awllower | @user230452 IMHO, White performed a manoeuver to first promote the pawn to a queen, and then moved that queen back to the original position, thus achieving the effect of replacing the pawn by the queen. | |
| Jul 16, 2016 at 2:46 | comment | added | Saikat | @Glorfindel Thanks for sharing. I'm new to this. I understood the first case how white could win if the pawn could move backwards. I also understood the last paragraph where white could win if that pawn was replaced by a queen. But, can you explain how he replaced that pawn by a queen ? Or was it two different endgames ? | |
| Jul 15, 2016 at 14:42 | comment | added | Glorfindel♦ | @user230452 no, according to the official rules this is not possible. At this moment, I can't resist to share a link to this beautiful endgame study where a pawn 'sort of' goes in reverse. | |
| Jul 15, 2016 at 14:41 | comment | added | Saikat | I am curious about this : Is it possible for the pawn to under promote to a own itself that can go in the reverse direction from which it came ? For example, can a white pawn promote to a pawn hat can now move in the direction the black pawn originally could. | |
