9 queens etc
I am literally being asked to provide a source that 1+8=9 and 2+8=10. That's all the statement about 9 queens, 10 rooks etc is trying to convey - that the only limit to the number of pieces of any type a player can have is the number of pawns they can promote.

- No. My point is that I don't believe it's possible to get to a position where these promotions have take place without a mate occurring first, particularly with Queens. Unbh (talk) 09:14, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Not only is it possible, it's easy. Even 18 queens on the board can easily be constructed. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 10:07, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Edit warring. Great.
- User:Unbh, please do not remove information solely because you have a feeling that it's false. If you want, you can add something called a
{{Citation needed}}template to the text. If you actually know that the information is wrong, then you can cite sources of your own that say so. - User:MaxBrowne2, please stop being aggressive toward this other person. Don't make personal attacks. Don't angrily barge into their talk page and insult them. Just take a deep breath. It'll be okay.
- Both of you, knock it off with the edit warring. You should have just come to the talk page in the first place. ISaveNewspapers (talk) 06:33, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
