alot of information on this page but the thing i was looking for was not on the page, if a player is in check is there a certain amount of moves before the game is over?

If a pawn is promoted to queen, what chess piece should be used to identify that piece as a queen if there are no other queens or rooks available to take the position of the promoted pawn?

If all you have is the one Chess set you are playing with, an upside-down Rook is usually best. If the Rooks haven't been captured, the next best thing is something all of which has been captured, so that it won't get confused with anything else. Barring that, use something to mark another piece as a Queen, such as a coin or a Checker. Or just use a coin, preferably one from a British Commonwealth nation such as Australia, Britain, or Canada, with the heads side up.

What is the rules regarding the max number of moves to get the king in
check mate during the end game before it is concidered a stale mate?

corect me if im wrong, but if both sides make identical moves 3x(back and
forth) this is concidered a stale mate, corect?

all your questions can be answered on this page, under the headings 
'Stalemate', 'Repetition of moves' and '50 moves rules'
please read 'stalemate' carefully, you don't understand what it means
judging by your questions.

I'm confused. I'm teaching my 8 year old to play and I dont want to warp him. I thought attacking pawns could only capture an opponents piece if there were two pawns of the same colour side by side. I couldnt see this in the rules though ?

This was a GREAT HELP! I play friends at school, but now I have an
advantage. I can't wait to try a couple of these new rules on my
friends.
For example, I had never heard of the en-passant, but now I do. Thanks!

As a 'returning to chess' player, I am slightly 'foggy' on some rules.

Currently playing long-distance with my son in Chicago (I'm in N.Y.)
I appreciated your site refreshing me on promotion of pawns.  I was under
the belief that you could only 'promote' to a previously 'lost'
piece.
 Now that I believe I understand that promotion can be to any piece other
than a pawn (not a piece) or a king, my question:  How is the newly
promoted piece identified on a board? (lacking a replacement from
previously 'lost' pieces)

You have a terrific site here. I'm fairly new to the game and have been all over the Internet seeking info and help of all kinds. Your site ranks right at the top as far as the covered topic. Thanks! I know there are many who feel the same.

The representation of rules is awesome.
Still, Bullet # 4 and 5 under 'Castling' are not clear to
understand. Please give illustration with pictures.
