Is it unpolite to make three queens?

And if youy are 1921? What then? I guess it isnt easy, but doable now and then. I guess you guys quite often manage to come one pawn up, but more seldom 2 if a 1740 avoids dumb mistakes.

Queens Queens Queens! Everyone talks about Queens. There was a game I played on this site about a year ago where I had 3 Knights, the game ended with me (Finally!) delivering mate with the King, 2 Knights and a Bishop after 109 moves.

But before playing all that out, my opponent already agreed to allow me to try it. I did accidently, of course, leave one of my Knights hanging..but still did it! And for a patzer like me, it wasn't easy.

Ten queens would definitely be cheating.

10 or any more than 9 queens is impossible.

Talking about many queens, is it cheating if a Sultan gets himself a paralell harem?

Well there is almost never a reason to get three Queens except to show off and rub it in...at least no reason I can think of off the top of my head. One could probably fabricate a scenario... It would almost always be faster to mate without getting three Queens. Of course, there is a flip side to that coin. Isn't it impolite for the losing player to not resign once you are up a Queen or two?

 

Stalemates do exist and they are very real with some elo levels

The goal is to checkmate your gaming partner within time by playing the best moves you could. However, three queens are not necessary, but it does not really matter.

No, of course not.

Sounds kind of like a stunted adolescent fragility that desperately needs external validation to feel good about oneself. Pass.

If someone just has to make three queens to checkmate your lone king, then they are just displaying their lack of skill. Becuz they are in a winning position but don't know how to win with the pieces they already have.

Sometimes if the opponent doesn't know how to resign, I forget how to checmate! happy.png

Making 3 queens while online is rude and obnoxious. Making 3 queens while playing an in-person game with a good buddy is hilarious!

Again if an opponent forgets how to resign, I sometimes forget how to checkmate!
