For all you chess geniuses out there.. PLEASE help!!!!?

Question

Me and my dad are playing chess, and I haven't captured anything of his yet, but he got his pon all the way accross the board to my side, can he still make it a queen even though I haven't captured his yet???

Answer 1

try take in pieces the get close to you do not go offensive till there is an opening

Answer 2

When your dad gets a pawn to the end, Sneeze and accidently knock the pieces over, then better luck next game....

Answer 3

Yes, you may have as many as 9 queens on one side.

It's also possible to have 10 rooks (or knights or bishops).

Not all at the same time of course :-)

You can't promote a pawn to a King and you must promote the pawn immediately.

Hi,

     A Pawn that reaches the other end of the board may be promoted to a Queen, Rook, Bishop or Knight.  You may like to have a look at my web page - link below?

Yours sincerely,

Answer 5

Yes, you don't have to capture a piece to promote a pawn to another piece when it reaches the other end of the board.

I'd love to see a game where someone gets their pawn to your side without you capturing one of their pieces though...

Answer 6

yes.. at least i've been playing that way since ages ago :S

Answer 7

lol

Answer 8

Yes, you are allowed as many of any piece as you want, as long as you can get the pawns over there. Since you can't use the real piece yet, I suggest using a quarter or other small object. If nothing else, you may simply lay the pawn down on its side.

Answer 9

Yes you can have more than one queen.

Answer 10

What kind of help because I am a chess geniuses.

Answer 11

You can have as many queens as you can get, but what I'm trying to figure out is how can someone get a pawn all the way down the board without you taking any of his pieces.  This seems almost impossible to me.
