can you put 9 queens on the board without stalemating your opponent

It'd need to be a rigged game for sure.

Yes.

Moreover the position is obviously legal.

(9) Queens ??....here's (30) Queens....and the king just shuttles from d1 to c1 and back being checked by the Q of ur choice....lol !!

btw, i count (46) ways a queen can check w/out making a checkmate or stalemate. multiply this by alot and u have 100's a moves before u make a 3-fold repetition. the 50-move rule will apply here as there will be NO pieces removed from the board.

so, draw in 50.

 

 

Actually, you can go far further than 50 and you can allow capture without checkmating or stalemating.  You can go further than I do before offering the capture, I just don't wish to type that much.  It simply proves the point that you can go beyond 50.

1...Qe8d8+ 2.Kc1 Qdc8+ 3.Kd1 Qcd7+ 4.Kc1 Qdc7+ 5.Kd1 Qcd6+ 6.Kc1 Qdc5+ 7.Kd1 Qcd5+ 8.Kc1 Qdc6+ 9.Kd1 Qce8 10.Kc1 Qb8c8+ 11.Kd1 Qc1+ (you can go further - I refuse to type that much) 12.Kxd1 (50 move count resets) Qe8d8+ 13.Kc1 Qdc8+ 14.Kd1 etc.

47 queens without stalemate or checkmate.

Forget 9 Queens, here is 33 queens, and with black to move there is no stalemate.

Could I? I have no idea, unlikely for me. Would I want to? Absolutely not. How boring a game would that turn into? But if you can and want to, more power to you . . .
