How does a pawn become any of the others?

You can promote to anything

You cannot promote to King or Pawn. As such, your statement is wrong and i feel betrayed.

I'd love to watch someone try to do this at a tournament. Just swapping out their pawn for an extra King with a deadpan expression.

The game would end when any king is captured so having more than one (as opposed to making the pawn a queen) would be a strict disadvantage. I'd allow it.

I misunderstood the rules and shoved my king into my mouth, with a deadpan expression.

Too bad they cut that out of a clip of Queen's Gambit.

Swap it for an enemy pawn.

Granted, but checkmate on either of the kings = loss

E: And now that I think about it, forking the kinds would also have to be a loss.

Pawns were players and players were pawns, once upon a time. Now that it's the opposite it's twice upon a time.
