We always can setup a position with more than 8 white or black queens and some, but not all, chess programs play okay with it. However, 9 or more white queens for isntance never happened in any game between two chess players anywhere anytime. So why is it important to you? <shrugging> If you have four double pawns on the a, c, e and g files, then you always can underpromote all the eight pawns to 8 light-square White Bishops! :-)) Eran
