That pawn talks a good game, but let's see if he changes his tune the moment he reaches the 8th rank and is promoted to queen.

Pawns can be promoted to any piece.

I don't know the exact wording of the rule, so it might be interesting to find loopholes in, but then pawns can't take their own queen either so we're not necessarily following the rules.

The pawn might decide to stay a pawn and retire.

Can you promote a pawn to a pawn going in the opposite direction, a lateral promotion?
