| 34 | Promotion is mandatory for a pawn reaching the last rank. However, they can only |
| 35 | promote into a friendly piece captured (which is back on the board). If none is |
| 36 | available, the promotion on last rank is impossible and the pawn cannot move |
| 37 | (but still gives check). |

| 40 | Pawn promotion is possible (but not forced) on the two ranks before last, |
| 41 | only in an already captured (friendly) piece. |
