Rules of Chess: Pawns FAQ. Rules of promotion and movement of pawns explained.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Yes, a Pawn may promote to a Queen even when there is already another Queen on the board. It is even legal for the same player to promote all eight Pawns to Queens without ever losing a Queen, so that a player may legally have nine Queens. Of course, this is unlikely to ever happen unless both players cooperate to allow the possibility, because one player would have to play very poorly, while the other player would have to avoid checkmating and stalemating his opponent until he had nine Queens.
