If there's a rook available turn it upside down to represent a queen. If not ask for the td to get a piece.

That's wrong. A titled player lost their match by trying that... I think it was Hikaru? I'm not sure. I'll look it up and post a link.

Mac Mcclung just hit 21 and there's 14 minutes left.

I didn't know that about the rook. Good thing now that a lot of sets come with 2 queens.

Definitely. And of course, when you're playing among friends, I'm sure they won't hit you with the big rule book. Really only matters for big shots playing for money, I'm guessing.
