I Queened a Pawn on Move 9

Sort:

Tonight I played a game where I promoted a pawn on move 9.  I got so nervous when I had two queens in the middle game that I didn't know what to do. 

Of course I blundered the second queen later in the game.  

I don't think I will ever see this again, but if I do, I will probably be nervous again.

Even after you blunder your extra queen, you are still up a rook.

I forgot to mention that my opponent was a good sport and fought like a lion.  We even joked about the me losing the second queen in the chat.

Dang you're lucky I've never gotten a 2 queen middlegame! It was a very nice game from you too!

For a second I thought you were a 100 posting then realized my own stupidity and it took strategic finesse to do that also luck/and awareness. 🥳👏🏻

You prepared positions. You saw your mistakes and fought better than your opponent. I promoted a pawn on the 9th move, but it blundered in 10th. Congratulations, a great game!🎉♟🛡

Good work, you also almost created a Queen's gun.

Seven moves is perfectly possible... but for an underpromotion, not a Queen.

I play the Scotch opening, and up to move 7 is a pretty common position for me.  I would say about maybe 10% of my games as white get to this position, so it is possible that another opponent might try the same move with their queen and I will get two queens again.

If this ever happens again, I will not blunder my second queen!

OK.  Well it almost happened again today.  This time I queened on move 16 in the middle game, but I had to sacrifice my existing queen to do it.  It turned out to be a really good game and my opponent almost won, which kind of surprised me since I won a lot a material in the early on.
