I know that you can crown with a king and a rook, but what about with a queen? Please help me solve this dispute with my opponent.

  1. Queening, or promoting, can only be done with the pawn. You may pick to promote it into a queen knight bishop or rook if your pawn gets to the opposite end of the board.


  2. yes if it has not already been done with the king

  3. you can crown anything, as a matter of fact you could end up having 9 queens on the board!

    Only one you cannot crown! your king! once you lost your king, the game is over! pawns can be converted according to your convenience, could be the case that while crowing the wrong piece could produce a stalemate, sadly it happened to me! as a matter of fact the only pieces you can crown are pawns! ok? you can only crown pawns, nothing else!

  4. Do you mean "castle"?  If so, then no.  You may not castle with a rook and a queen.  Only between a rook and a king when both have never been moved, and there is no threat of check.

  5. The castling move has some fairly rigid caveats:

    1. It can only occur if there are no pieces standing between the king and the rook.

    2. Neither king nor rook may have moved from its original position.

    3. There can be no opposing piece that could possibly capture the king in his original square, the square he moves through or the square that he ends the turn.

  6. No it is only done with the king and rook if neither has moved.
