I was playing a game at my chess club last week at Musselburgh and both me and my opponent were short of time I just promoted a pawn and said queen please which my opponent change the pawn for a queen then his flag fell and he said that he should not have to change the pawn for a queen in his time and went on to say the game was null in void which I just laughed at and I walked away now this was a friendly game but was wondering what is the correct procedure for the promoting of a pawn to a queen is it your opponents job or your own ? Thanks for you help in this matter.
