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

Pretty neat. Also, seeing twenty knights would be awesome.
Avatar of EndgameEnthusiast2357

knights are even easier cause the queens tend to pin each other which is extremely annoying

Can you make 18 bishops.
Avatar of Philloveschess
or can you get 20 bishops
Avatar of EndgameEnthusiast2357

18 bishops of the same color, 20 total

Avatar of hitthepin
Just a request.
Avatar of EndgameEnthusiast2357

I'll try some time

Avatar of Nino_98

Maybe I just missed the last moves... but if there are 2 pawns left there can't be 18 queens on board

Avatar of EndgameEnthusiast2357

There's no pawns left and each side has 9 queens=18.
