#1) seriously, can you really have unlimited queens? it's a lot of fun in level one to get five queens, but lately i've been trying to make my game a bit stronger. In the upper levels, the computer getting a queen at the last moment can make/break the game! i thought that in traditional chess you were only able to recover a "captured" piece.. is that not true? is there a way to turn this option off? #2) i have tips turned ON and i've yet to ever see one. thanks.
In chess you can have as many queens as you want (well 9) the 8 pawns and the original queen. -- roy69 - Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Abit IP35 Pro - 4 x 1GB OcUK PC2-6400 C5 800 MHZ Dual Channel - Leadtek GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 - CiBox TFT 22" Widescreen LCD Panel. 1680 x 1050 - Creative X-Fi 7.1 PCI-E - Antec 900 Ultimate Gaming Case - Creative Inspire 7.1 T7900 Speakers - Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Complient PSU
I have had 5 queens in the game. When I played in competition in the 80s, I would bring back only the pieces I lost. I would not do multiple queens. -- SCSIraidGURU Michael A.

According to the rules of chess a pawn may be promoted to a queen, rook, bishop, or knight regardless of which pieces have been captured. Even if none of your pieces have been captured you can still promote the pawn. Many chess sets, including those used in high-level tournaments, come with two queens of each colour in case your original queen is still on the board when you promote a pawn.
