Is it unpolite to make three queens?

Sometimes, when possible I like to get three queens. I like to see that I have three queens on the board. It gives me some satisfaction and joy,

but it might be putting salt in my opponents open wound. Is it disrespectful harrasing of the loosing player? Is it the evil from inside that is taking control over me?

If you get three queens against you, do you feel that your opponent is a cocky humiliating bastard?

if your oppenents is in a lost possition and should be resigning but doesn´t, than it is your right to not checkmate him and get as many queens as you want.

Not when I have 4.

It's just a move.

It is kind of showing off. Showing that you dominate. I think its impolite, but sometimes it feels good to be bad, to release the evil within.

IM pfren, maybe your wife would be angry if you cheated with ten queens?

In 5/2 games I have done that a lot. Quite a bit of people think they're going to win on time some how. So I promote or under promote the pawns I have left.

Maybe someone will call this rude, but it was more rude for the person to not resign when I have an army of pawns vs a lone king and 7 seconds with an incrimate

Maybe one of the best places to release the evil within is on a chessboard?

I take some amusement from watching somebody who needs to promote three queens to finally put me out of my misery.  A lot of the time people have never studied checkmate patterns, and they have no clue what they're doing once I've screwed up and hung a queen or something, and then been whittled down to nothing.  They know they're supposed to be able to win, but don't know how.  Frequently, these people never move their king.

Having messed around with multiple queen scenarios on the analsysis board more than once, I've determined that it's actually rather hard to avoid stalemating a lone king that way.  Oops, the last queen didn't check him, but it did cut him off, and now he draws.  I've used two queens, because it was faster than moving the king into range, but I don't think I've actually gone with three in a real game.

Do you also take amusement that you're not up to the standard of playing better players?

If the object of the game is to win and you really need three queens to do that, then by all means go for it! If you obviously have the game won with one queen don't you think going for the second and third isn't just a little childish? Chess should foster respect and dignity.

I like to get as many Queens as possible, and then make random check moves until the opponent is mated.

Also sacking all Queens but one, and then checkmate is one of my favorites.

This one was fun.

No extra queens though, so not impolite.

Wilkes, I am childish. Chess is fun, and I am playing and joking with the smartest kids in Norway in my club. I think beeing childish is a way to improve like them. The childs at Nordstrand are gaining strenght faster than the adults. I admire our childs, and that probably makes more like them. More childish. More fastlearning. More curious. I think those childs are some of the best in the world at learning, and I want a part of that power. Childpower!

I collect all the power I can get, both childpower and GM-power.

Pablo Picasso fought his whole life to get the childishness he had when he was six into his working.

A true child will sometimes get as many queens as possible. And they who hasnt the child in them, how can they grow up to get better players?

Olympian, I do simoultanously play chess and the selfapproval game. It gives me a boost to see succes and strenghtening. Compared to my strenght when I started here, I have grown a lot. It feels satisfying. I also like to play against GM´s, not to win (but ofcourse I try), but because I learn and grows strenght.

Sometimes you can have three queens and lose. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1739337 (it was a draw until black blundered on his last move)
