Basic Queen mate


Lauren here!
Black is checkmated by White's queen and king. If white's queen was a rook, would it still be
checkmate? The answer is yes!
Most of the time, you'll promote your pawn to a queen, but this a great example why you don't have to
promote it to a queen!
In rare cases, it is a good idea to promote a pawn to a knight, or and bishop!
