I have some position with only one queen and also from real games(ICC
tournaments)
I used chessmaster6000(ss=10)

[D]3r3k/p1rB3p/1p3q2/1Q2R1p1/2P1p3/2P1B3/P5K1/3R4 w - - 0 1

Mate in at most 11(chessmaster6000 needs a long time to see mate in 13)

The main line begins 1.Rf5 a6 2.Qb4 a5 3.Bd4

The game continues 39.Rf5 Rc5 and here we have the second problem
mate in 8

[D]3r3k/p2B3p/1p3q2/1Qr2Rp1/2P1p3/2P1B3/P5K1/3R4 w - - 0 1

Chessmaster6000 on PIII850 says
40.Bc5 with the following scores
Mate in 11 13 seconds
Mate in 9 21 seconds
Mate in 8 30 seconds

Chessmaster can see mate in 16 after a long time when the main line
begins with 1...Bxg4 2.Bf4

I already posted the position after 20...Bxg4 21.Qc3 and in that position
chessmaster needs only 20 seconds to see mate in 10 and 24 seconds to
see mate in 9.

Chessmaster6000
12:52 26.bxa7 mate in 15
main line begins with 26.bxa7 Kc7 27.Rb7+ Kd8 28.a8Q+ Kc7 29.Rxd7+ Kxd7
30.Qab7+ Ke6 31. Qd3 Ne4 32.b3

Chessmaster6000
4:55 35...dxc4 mate in 16

For some strange reason chessmaster6000 changes it's mind after 27:38
to mate in 17 but I believe that mate in at most 16 is right and if
I continue 36.Qh6 chessmaster can see mate in 16 after a short time
but changes it's mind to mate in 15 after 4:47.
