Answer 1

You can do

ButtonType queen = new ButtonType("Queen");
ButtonType rook = new ButtonType("Rook");
Alert a = new Alert(AlertType.NONE, "Promote pawn to:", queen, rook);
a.setTitle("Title");
a.setHeaderText("My header text");
a.setResizable(true);
a.setContentText("Content text");
a.showAndWait().ifPresent(response -> {
    if (response == queen) {
        // promote to queen...
    } else if (response == rook) {
        // promote to rook...
    }
});
