Dec-30-13		Phony Benoni: Position after <73.g8Q>: click for larger view I'm surprised nobody has commented on this game so far.

Feb-15-14		Francio: Six Queens! Is that a record? Thanks Phony Benoni for compiling all those multiple queen endings.

Feb-21-14		kevin86: Six queens and the game will be decided by a seventh! A+

Mar-21-14		Whitehat1963: Wow! Incredible game at master level. Six queens! Crazy!

Mar-22-14		OhioChessFan: 76...Kc1 would have been better. click for larger view Black's last move was a blunder, understandable after 81 moves, although I assume a time control had just been reached. 81..Kb2 and White has a lot of work to do. click for larger view

Mar-25-14		The Last Straw: What fun.

Jul-07-14		perfidious: <Francio: Six Queens! Is that a record?> Here is another: E Szalanczy vs Thi Mai Hung Nguyen, 2009.

Sep-06-15		GrahamClayton: Not a question about this game, but about multi-queen games that are played at weekender tournaments. Does each set used for such a tournament have a spare set of queens? If not, is there a central pool of queens for promotions, or do the players borrow queens from the boards where games have already finished?

Dec-31-16		Helios727: They can borrow Queens from other boards or use upside down rooks. I once had to use an upside down rook.

Jan-29-17		ColeTrane: There was a great game in the database like this called The Harem....great pun.

Dec-27-20		FSR: See also E Rosen vs Sonja Lang, 2019.

Jan-04-21		kereru: upside down rooks are not acceptable according to FIDE rules. If you don't have at least 2 spare sets on hand though you're not running your tournament very well.

Dec-19-21		Brenin: 81 ... Kb2 seems to hold the draw. The Black K must avoid squares such as a2, b3, d1 and d2 which allow Qd5+.

Dec-19-21		ajk68: 81...d2?? is an obvious blunder.

Dec-19-21		ajk68: 81...Kb2 is still losing. According to the tablebase... click for larger view 81... Kb2 82. Ke2 Qf6 83. Qd3 (best line for both players) Black then has a choice. 83... Qg7 84. Qe3 Qg2 85. Qb6+ Ka1 86. Qa5+ Kb1 87. Qxe5 Kc1 88. Qc3+ Kb1 89. e5 Qe4+ 90. Qe3 Qc2+ 91. Ke1 Qc1+ 92. Qxc1+ Kxc1 and the pawn queens click for larger view or, 83... Qh8 84. Qe3 Qh2 85. Kd3 Qg2 86. Qe2+ Ka1 87. f4 Qh3+ 88. Kc4 Qe6+ 89. Kc5 Qe7+ 90. Kd5 Qa3 91. Kxe5 Qc5+ 92. Kf6 Qd6+ 93. Kg5 Qd8+ 94. Kg4 Qg8+ 95. Kf3 Qb3+ 96. Kg2 Qc2 97. Qf2 Qb1 and white can force the exchange of queens or push pawns. click for larger view

Dec-19-21		Breunor: Crazy! Starts out pretty routine and then there are 6 queens!

Dec-19-21		Check It Out: Blunders? Whatever :) that was crazy.

Dec-19-21		Teyss: Even crazier than the POTD. Fitting pun for Spanish players.

Dec-19-21		Ironmanth: Unbelievable!!!

Dec-20-21		areknames: Fun game and a delightful pun.

Jun-25-25		FSR: The position was equal until 49...Rc8, which lost a pawn to 50.Rxg7+. Stockfish 17.1 initially gives White a big advantage after that, but then decides that (a) it's still 0.00, and (b) White must play 50.Rxg7+!; he would be worse after 50.Qd2, or dead lost after any other move. After 55.Qf5, we reached this position: click for larger view Here Black played 55...Qxb2? which, though natural, was a bad mistake. Correct was 55...b4! 56.axb4 Qxb2!=, since the a-pawn is now a passer. After 55...Qxb2, Stockfish gives White a winning advantage, which he maintained at all times thereafter. Also tenable (at least if you're a computer) would have been 55...Kf7 or 55...Qc2, still keeping the e4 pawn under attack. Stockfish announces mate in 10 after 61.h8=Q! Guijarro must have been worried about 61...Qxf2+!?, but White could escape a perpetual. Stockfish says 77.Qf1+! was best, but Guijarro's 77.Qfd3+ was also good, forcing a winning Q v. Q ending. Syzygy recognizes it as a tablebase win.
