Hello,

I would like to know the proper way to annotate when a Pawn is promoted to a Queen.

Thank you.

Dear viewer,

When a Pawn (assuming that is white and on "d" column) reaches the eighth rank and is promoted to Queen, the notation should be as follows: d8=Q (d7 to d8, Pawn is promoted to Queen).
