Passed pawns can be fun

The rule that a pawn reaching the eighth or the first rank can be promoted into another piece of the same color is one of the most beautiful in chess. It makes the game dynamic and has already led to many brilliant combinations and exciting games. One of these was played recently in round 6 of the Fujairah Masters between the Argentine prodigy Faustino Oro and the American International Master Nico Chasin.
