Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enigma" data-source="post: 2671355" data-attributes="member: 248831">If a pawn gets to the opponents side, I understand that the pawn can be exchanged for a piece that has already been lost.  However, once this 'transaction' has been done, where should the piece go- should it return to its original position on the board?  For example, if a pawn is exchanged for a rook, then should the rook return to the opposit side or remain when the swap took place?  My 8 year old son claims that it should return to its original place.  Any help would be much appreciated! (and any useful tips- twelve games later and I haven't won any against my son!)Great- thank you.  So it remains in the same place regardless of the fact that my queen can take it?  thanks!! x</blockquote>
