I don't know what to tell you Francis. In rapid games it's quite uncommon indeed, but in blitz it happens all the time.
Big ups to you both for playing an interesting game, though. I was really entertained watching that.
Ever had a game where both players had 2 queens at the same time?

Wow! Great find! Don't think I would have found that unless it was a slow game though.
This might be the first time I've ever had two queens vs two queens in a game. And they were on the board for quite a while!
