It is possible to have nine Queens in Chess. I already knew it was legal, and to find out whether it could actually be done, I just played a game against myself with the object of getting nine Queens for White. I got all nine Queens, checkmating Black only when I got the ninth Queen. Of course, this required lots of cooperation between Black and White, and in a normal game where both players are trying to win, it is very unlikely that either player will ever have nine Queens. But however improbable it will be in actual games, it is possible.
