can anyone advice me or help me? is it possible to play with two queens?

Yes - as each pawn reaches the eighth rank , it can convert into a choice of Bishop,Rook,Knight or Queen. Queen is usually selected as it is the most powerful piece. So theoretically , you could start with one queen and end up with nine !

thanx for that i thought you could only claim the queen back if it had been taken previously!

Look at the following game in which the white king takes a stroll in the presence of four ladies:

I once won against two queens, one more move and I was dead. I'll post it later

This rule is ridiculous.. I've honestly never heard of this. And since when can you climb ranks into royalty? A king with 2 queens.. Bulls**t. Why even give anyone the option of anything but a queen? I can see a knight because of the unique moving pattern.. But really? You'd rather have a bishop than a queen? This is bs.

I would promote to a knight it it delivered checkmate when promoted.

I would promote to any other piece if promoting to a queen leads to immediate stalemate.

i think this is a glitch in the system - in the real world where do you get the second queen from?
