Question for CHESS Players Only

When a PAWN reaches last row (opponent's side) Does it become Queen? Is it player's choice to choose whatever he wants it to be? Or It will become what belongs to that particular box?

Thank you all for replying and making it clear. All these rules are well defined if we play at Computer or online games, Problem i faced when i played with aged n senior players, as they had different self defined rules. Anywaysssss thanx once again to All :)

You can have up to 9 Queens. Some chess sets comes with 2 Queens for such need. You can also flip an available piece upside down to represent a Queen

( if this is repeated, then QL server eating Turkey today )

You can have as many queens as you wish. But by the time you have two quuens, you will finish the game and the need for any more will not arise

You can have another Queen, even if you have one already. Some sets of chess comes with extra Queen just for such occasion. If you do not have a second Queen, flip an available piece upside down to indicate it is a Queen.

Thanks for sending link, its informative. Now i have 2nd question, If u promoted ur first PAWN to be Queen, How about 2nd, 3rd and 4th etc..? Still its ur choice to pick Queen everytime or U have to choose other options?

Its your choice to select the power. After great difficulty you reached the end then why do you want to ask others you select what ever you want.

choice I believe, however as stated in the link below, as the queen has the most movement options most people choose her.

It's players choice.

You han have a Queen (most prefereable), a Castle, Knight (not a favorite) or a Bishop. But not a king
