Hi, Smilemaker: Yes, it is permissible for a Pawn to promote to a second, third (rare) or fourth (extremely rare) Queen upon reaching the opponent's home row. Aside, I remember a 5th-Grad math trick called 'casting out nines' which I think was really trick, but can't remember exactly how it worked. Are you familiar with it?
Normally in chess you are allowed as many Queen (or other piece) promotions as you want, regardless of what has been captured.
I teach 5th Grade Math to 100 kids and we also have a chess club-90% of the students actively participate in our club. I had a situation come up yesterday I had never encountered. When a pawn makes it across the board and is exchanged, is it possible to get a 2nd queen (assuming you already have one)?
I have always operated under the assumption that you may exchange for any piece you have lost, but when a student asserted that he wanted a 2nd queen, I had to stop and think about that one-any suggestions??
