Question

If your pond makes it thru to the opponents side. Do you get another queen even if you haven't lost yours?

Answer 1

Sort of.

1. It is a pawn, not a pond.

2. if you get a pawn to the other side you can pick whatever piece you want whether you lost it or not.  (Very rarely getting a queen is not the best idea- very, very rarely.:))

Answer 2

Kind of...

If you get a pawn to the other side of the board without it being taken, you get to bring 1 of your pieces back that has been taken by the other player.

(No, you do not get 2 identical pieces)

Answer 3

Yes, your pawn may become any piece but another pawn or a king.  So it is possible for a player to have more than one queen.

Answer 4

the pawn may become another queen, in fact, one player may have 9 queens on the board at the same time.

Answer 5

First of all it is a "pawn."

And yes you can, although you can promote to a knight or bishop or a rook ,also. Most people just turn a rook upside down to represent a queen, and it is theoretically possible to have NINE queens!  (your original and eight promoted pawns)

The first answerer's Chess Club should get a copy of the rules. If they say you can only take back an already captured piece, that is wrong!

Answer 6

When your "pawn" gets to the last row, you may trade it for any piece you want other than

1. A king- sorry that is the ruling

2. A Pawn- that would be pointless

You could have a perfect board and still trade in because what has been taken does not matter

SO go ahead and get those NINE Queens. it wont be easy.
