Chess rule for promoting queen....?

I learnt the rules as a child and always thought once you promoted the pawn to a queen the opponents piece couldn't capture her straightaway.

However i have just played against a computer and when i promoted my queen the computer captured her straight away - is this correct or am i?Chess rule for promoting queen....?
The only piece on a chessboard that can never be captured is the King.



Any other piece, promoted or otherwise, can be captured at any time, provided there is a legal move available for capture.



You just have to be careful when promoting a pawn to make sure the promotion square isn't defended. :-)Chess rule for promoting queen....?

(you've been playing the wrong way)

(updated answer)...ryan is a COMPLETE moron !!....there is no such thing as individual rules?....there is only ONE set of rules !!

The computer is correct
Everyone plays the game differently, so you weren't necessarily wrong, but I do think that the computer follows the standard rules.
