What is auto-queen, and how do I enable it?

 This feature can save valuable time, especially in fast-paced bullet games!

With auto-queen enabled, when you move a pawn to the final rank, it will automatically promote to a queen.

In the browser, this feature is labeled as Always Promote to Queen, while in the app, it's referred to as Auto-Queen. Both settings achieve the same outcome.


Web

  • Hover over Settings on the bottom left side menu and click All Settings

  • Select Live Chess from the Settings menu

  • Toggle Always Promote to Queen

  • Click Save to apply the changes!

Once enabled, promoting a pawn will automatically turn it into a queen without prompting you to choose a different piece.

If you ever need to under-promote, simply hold down the ALT key while moving the pawn, and the usual menu for selecting a piece will appear.


Mobile

  • Tap More on the bottom right of your home page and select Settings

  • In the next menu, choose Play

  • Then, on the next screen choose Live games

  • Toggle Auto-Queen
