In Shogi, silver generals, lances, knights, and pawns all promote to gold generals.

You're all nothing but pawns.

We're all pawns.

The black pawns belong to me.

Pawns only move forward.

Skura is using her children as pawns to get what she wants from her ex-husband.

In the game of chess, each army has a king, a queen, two bishops, two knights, two rooks, and eight pawns.

That endgame boiled down to the confrontation between a good bishop, that is one who had good squares to move on, and a bad bishop, that is one who had his movement options restricted by its own pawns.

In the starting position of the game, White has the rooks in a1 and h1, the knights in b1 and g1, the bishops in c1 and f1, the queen in d1, and the king in e1. Its eight pawns occupy the second row of the board, from a2 to h2.
