Yes

By other pawns.
As long as 2 pawns are head to head, promotion is not possible.
That's what the little flurry in the beginning was.

Had to lure your pawns away to be able push mine through.
If white captures with the pawn instead of the knight, white will have 2 passed pawns
Those 2 passed pawns could be the most important pieces on the board right now.

"Promote" means to get it to the back row and officially up a piece in rank, ya? Not jes' general helpin' along / blocking for a piece?

Zachary. when a pawn reaches the 8th rank you can trade it for any piece but a king.
Most folks promote to a queen, but that is not always the wisest choice.

That's a reasonable move for light (guess you call that red). The translated instructions with my $3 set refer to "light and dark" instead of white and black. No wanna be culturally insensitive and send pawn runnin' home cryin'. :sadcrying

Puck him! He no can take a joke.:rastasmoke:

See ya commented on my fashion post. See why I needed a new look for awhile?
