18 Queens is Possible

With white to move, its mate in 4.
Qaxf7+ Qgxf7 (Only move), Qfxf7. Now here white has two options. Either 1) Kxf7 or 2) Qhxf7.
1) If Kxf7 then Qhxh7+, Ke8 or Kf8 only moves. Either way Qbh8 is mate.
2) If Qhxf7 then Qbh8+. Now black has two options a) Qfg8 or b) Qff8.
a) If Qfg8, then Qgxg8 is #.
b) If Qff8, then Qgg6 is #.

obviously, I could promote the pawns to knights instead of queens. It would be way easier.
I think you have too much time on your hands.....

20 Knights would be even easier because I wouldn't have to manuevre n them while deal with checks, pins..etc.

I think this one is very cool. I would like to see 12 knights and 12 bishops. Maybe I'll get to work on that
