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.

Boru

Incorrect.

A pawn that is queened cannot move like a knight.

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.

There were TWO games in the Redskins defeat of the Miami Dolphins the year they beat them in the Super Bowl 17. What two games that season ended up in the same final score, what were the teams that year? After the Redskins won, the soda company Coke printed out a commemorative bottle denoting the Redskins wins that year. If you still have one, you can look at all the scores of the Reskins that year and figure out which two games the Skins played that ended up in the same score.


Extra Credit. Who did John Riggins beat as far as number/name to score the defining touchdown that gave the Redskins the win?

Right, but that's not what I said.  When you move a pawn to your opponents first rank, it doesn't have to be promoted to queen - it can be promoted to any piece you like (although they are almost always made queen).  You're correct than you can't declare it a queen and then play it as a knight, but you can declare it as a knight and play it that way.

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.

Who were the two teams the Skins beat two different teams by the same score the year of Super Bowl 17 by the same score?

Who did John Riggins beat for the go ahead score in that Super Bowl?
