I am not going to question this, other than to say it has to do with math. Chess is all about math.

Nothing to do with maths. It’s to do with the rules of the game. If you get a pawn all the way to your opponents first rank, you can play it as a queen (technically, you can play it as any piece you like). 

Since there are 16 pawns in the game, you can reach a total of 18 queens.

Chess is about strategy.  Math may be a part of that but not all of it.

I don't know shit about chess, but I am assuming, the rules allow lower ranked pieces to get to the other side of the board and if they do, they can be elevated to higher rank? I only know that there are two kings and two queens, so that I why I thought this was a trick question. 

I admit I am a dumbass on chess, but 18 is far bigger than two when the pieces first start out.

No, the pawn is the only piece that can be promoted.
