One time in a tournament game my opponent queened first and I queened second so we both had two queens roaming the board. But I was winning because my king was safer.
It's so rare though, don't worry about it. Just get that nice set.

You might check out ChessBazaar.com....located in India.....they have a nice set the "GM Blitz" wood set made specifically for Blitz play. They have implemented a couple of "features" in the set, i.e., the Knight is carved in one piece (so won't come apart during blitz as a two-piece knight might) and the "points" on the Queen's coronet are slightly "blunted/flattened" so as not to get chipped/broken during blitz. It comes with 4 Queens and is very reasonably priced for the 3.75(nominal)/3.85(actual) inch King. I recently purchased this set and am very pleased with it.....not sure if you are able to order it in Russia though...
the following thread contains more details and photos of the set...

Does it includes every piece?
I can't get it from this site I live in Russia Moscow and post office often steals staff or damage your goods , so it would be highly risky.
If someone were in Moscow I would buy it of them and give them cash then no problem

we just turn a rook upside down for a queen...usually there is at least one off by the time you queen
100$ dollars chess pieces and they don't have an extra queens also can't be ebonized. Any way what do you think about pieces tho in general looking at a picture ?
🤔
I looked at a nice chess set 4 inch king , heavy pieces and all that every thing is nice , but one thing is bothering me. It comes only with 32 pieces NO extra queens!!! I called them and they said they don't do extra queens anymore for some reason.
It's really hard to find any chess sets in Moscow as they don't have many literally couple and I chose the best pieces , it cost around 100$ 90 something , mostly I will play blitz just at home, but also for analysis and rapid games.
So I don't know what to do as I don't have any alternative other pieces only comes with 3.75 inch king and most of them don't have extra queens as well .
Do you think it's a big deal? It's quite bothering me
