This is known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterclass.com\/articles\/pawn-promotion-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pawn promotion<\/a>. But what about a bishop? What happens when a bishop gets to the other side?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>When the Bishop reaches the other side, unlike pawns, nothing happens. They are not promoted or given better powers.
