Yes, it is against the rules in chess to perform an illegal pawn promotion.
Promotion happens immediately as soon as the pawn reaches rank eight, before the opponent's turn.
"Queening" is just a common term applied to the promotion of a pawn which , generally , is the piece the pawn is most often promoted to but "Queen me." is not part of the rules .
In the game of checkers, a kinged pawn may be moved like a normal pawn, but can move in any direction, forwards or backwards, side to side, as long as the move is diagonal. ----InfoMac
In chess, pawn promotion occurs when a pawn reaches the opposite end of the board. The player can then choose to promote the pawn to any other piece (usually a queen, rook, bishop, or knight) to enhance its power on the board.
You can sacrifice a pawn but the rules do not allow for a player to surrender a pawn . The pawn must be captured in accordance to the rules of chess .

(basicly checkers is just a all pawn verson of chess and has the ability to change from a pawn to a king if it reaches the end of the board) -A fast food resteraunt
No , only upon the pawn's promotion to a piece that then checks the king may you then say "check" .
You may be talking about chess champ Ruy Lopez.
You can promote a Pawn to any other piece, except the King, that you choose. You do not have to have lost the piece you promote the Pawn to. It's therefore theoretically possible for a player to have nine Queens (the original, plus eight promoted pawns). However, you may not give control of it to your opponent; it remains your piece.
A promotion is an advancement in rank or position. In chess a promotion is also called queening. It is the replacement of a pawn that has reached the enemy's first rank by a more powerful piece of the same color.
Any promoted piece 'starts' at the point of promotion .
