I got my King to the 8th rank but chess.com won't let me promote it into a Queen.  What gives?

It's the pawn you get to the 8th rank and promote.

It wouldn't be good unless you had some thing protecting g8 or else it would be checkmate.

Gargleblaster. Only pawns that reach the 8th rank can promote. King to queen? How could they win then without you possessing a king?

Yeah!

Dude, we're jesting at the notion to offer anyone help when there are people rated more than twice your rating who could provide much more substantial help.

mathboy1

then maybe i'll delete this topic if you're being this way.

Had you bothered to look at the ratings of the players posting here?  Maybe you should.

mathboy1

I don't see any 2014 which is exactly double my rating!

This doesn't mean that they are exactly double your rating, just more than double.

mathboy1

Where are the greater than 2014 people then? You're 1165 and I'm 1007!

chasm1995

I never said I was more than double your rating, just that some are.

mathboy1

are any of them in this forum?
