Mate in 14 (28 consecutive checks!)
Sort:
it's not realistic at all!! white has a lot of chance to kill the queen and take the game afterwards. i don't think i got it, interesting though

what was that?! do you have any serious medical conditions that made you post that?
Sweet!!
That's insane! Very fun. Thanks for the post.
That was one of the best things I have EVER seen!!!!! Brilliant. I wonder what the most number of simultaneous checks in an actualgame is.
What do you think about this one? This is the current record, a mate in 517 for white! You can see the full story at post 316 on this site:

Wouldn't that position be drawn, at the latest, on White's 301st move due to the fifty move rule?

Hmm, not sure why it doesn't work, propably a space at the end:

It's ok
Thanks!
Yes, it would be drawn. In positions like those, the number of moves to mate are usually calculated for theoretical purposes only, thanks to the 50-move rule.
True, it would be a draw in practice. I guess this is the same kind of sport as calculating the highest prime number, of which the current record is 227,832 digits long 
NICE GAME, it was interesting to play through it...
ADK
Yeah thats insane...
erm, 1.b8=Q#

Thanks for your answer, cuendillar
