Answers.Body: <p>Yes you can. When your pawn reaches the other side of the board then you can have it replaced by any piece that you want except for another pawn or king. There is no limit on the number of pieces of the same kind. So in theory you can have 9 queens or 10 rooks :-)</p>

  <em>each</em> side Queened two pawns while their original Queens were still

Answers.Body: <p>To answer your question directly, yes, you can promote to a queen twice (or more) in the same game. Any pawn that makes it to the opposite side of the board can be promoted to a queen. To bring that point home, here is a game where at one point there were six queens on the board:</p>
