Best Answer

Yes. If you make it to the other side of the board (last square) with a pawn, you can then trade it for a queen or any other piece that is captured. You can have as many queens as you want just flip a castle upside down or put a pawn on top of some other piece.

If you're talking about swapping a rook for a pawn, no. If you're talking about trading a rook for an opponent's pawn, then yes, but usually not reccommended.
