Quote:I think we are saying the same thing. If you get all the way to the other side with a low rank, you move up to their rank. So yea, a smart enough player can get 18 queens.
It is a more complicated game than checkers, but the same rules apply to a certain extent. In checkers if you get your piece across to the other side it gets "kinged". A queen in chess has far more power than a pawn, so if I am reading you correctly, depending on how one plays, it is possible for a lower rank to move into a higher seat of power.
But the pawn is the only piece that promotion applies to. If you get a knight (or a bishop or a rook) all the way across the board, you can't promote it. It remains a knight.
