Emne: Rules of Dice Chess

The rules say : "If a pawn is to be promoted (would advance to the last row), the player
can move it even if the die does not show 1. However, he can only
promote it to the piece chosen by the die roll - for example, if 3 is
rolled, the pawn can be promoted to a bishop only. If 1 is rolled, the
pawn can be promoted to any piece."
I have two questions:
(1) What does it happend if it´s rolled a 6? Could be promoted to a second king?
(2) In case of a pawn in the 7th file: If there isn´t queen on the board, is it possible to get a 5 and get a queen playing the pawn to the 8th. file?

Matarilevich: It should also be possible to get a queen even if there was one on the board!

WhisperzQ: Matarilevich mentioned there being no queen on the board because he wanted to check specifically that the 5 could occur solely as a pawn promotion possibility.
