How the clue works
Look at Being promoted on board — that's your definition, the chess term for a pawn becoming a queen. for French, that gives you QUE (French for "that"), and then good number gives you G (for "good") plus NINE, which when upset (reversed) becomes ENING. String QUE and ENING together and you're there.
