The Pawn
The Pawn moves exactly one square in either of the orthogonal directions that is away from his own side of the playing board.If a Pawn moves to the Home Square of his opponent, then the Pawn promotes to Queen. The queen has the combined power of the Bishop and the Rook. A captured Queen is demoted to Pawn before it is dropped back on the board.
