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)
