Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

You're right, it would've required there being another option

I'd probably say « La promotion d'un pion peut le transformer en reine. »

I don't find that "ce dernier" requires a list, it's not strictly "the latter", it can refer to whatever is the closest to the reference. It doesn't stand out to me at all.

It's an extremely common usage in any case

I honestly don't even think it's nonstandard or informal

Okay, merci!
