Three queens for one side? Does that happen to you a lot?
I know somebody got into trouble for using a turned over rook in a FIDE game.
According to this thread:
FIDE USCF
| It is illegal to use an inverted rook to mean "queen" when promoting a pawn. If a promotion piece is not readily available, the player must stop the clocks and ask the arbiter for assistance. (Technically, I think an arbiter would be within his rights to rule that the player had promoted to a rook. I don't see anything in the Laws of Chess that require the base of the piece to touch the chess board!) | The USCF rules explicitly state that, when promoting a pawn, an upside-down rook is to be considered to be a queen. |
