is there a limit to the number of queens you can get in one game? are there any specific rules for this? i've seen games with 2 queens, but only in the chess puzzles do i see more than that. anyone have experience with this?
You can never have more than 9

Unless both players are promoting queens, or some other existential reason, it would be considered a bit obnoxious and rude to keep promoting to more queens instead of focusing on mating the opponent. Plus with too many queens, a player can run the very real risk that they control so many squares that the opponent's king runs out of squares to flee to and draws by stalemate.

You can "get" 8.
Plus the one you started with, so a player can have a total of 9.
ok, yes, when i look at it the way you explained it, seems pretty obvious--not sure why i didn't see that before. iguess there aren't many games where a player gets to have that many queens...
In over the board chess, in all practicality, it would be execptional to have more than 2 queens on the board. Wooden sets, the good ones, not ones from the toy section of Walmart or Kmart or Target, routinely come with 2 queens now. That trend was started by House of Staunton, and it's got the market share of serious chess players buying wooden chess sets... at least in the USA. There are a couple of other online companies that also sell a lot of wooden chess sets, and pretty much after that, the companies are either trying to sell really cheap wooden sets, or fill in some other niche.
I won't include Jaques of London though. they're more of a general games company that just happens to sell high end chess sets that a lot of players would love to have, just to say they own a Jaques of London chess set.
Otherwise, it's standard for players to use an upside down rook to represent a queen.
In online game, you can have max 9 queens. If you play OTB and your opponents don’t want to resign and you have at least 2 passers you should checkmate your opponent with knight and bishop.
It’s very unlikely but I remember one blitz game with my friend when i had queen endgame with 8 pawns up. My friend resigned when I took his last pawn. We both had several beers drunk.
online the most i’ve seen is 8 or smth
otb i’ve never even seen 3 queens before

Hmm ? You can checkmate however you like. You dont need to checkmate in any specific way. Especially if you can convert a pawn into a queen and have a much easier checkmate combo than knight and bishop.
