Checkmate with 3 queens

MARattigan

I used to aim for the maximum number of queens when I played the kids at primary school, but I grew out of it.

I wouldn't do it if I had the chance, as I would have checkmated long before this.

For me, I aim for the maximum number of knights or bishops on the board (but so far, it has not come to fruition yet, since at least a pawn is lost in almost all my games).

Getting three queens was wasting time

 

or

If you just wanted queens, why not four?

I never managed more than six queens either. Losing pawns was not the only problem, I was a real whizz at stalemate in those days.

Obviously possible, but then it gets a bit fiddly finding a mate with the queens where none of them are redundant. Something tells me this may not be the fastest way.

 
Checkmate with 4 queens!
 

Any advance on 11 moves to checkmate with 4 queens but not with 3 (White's king and rook taking no part)?

Promoting to a knight/bishop is more fun. Most my promotions are so late in the game that I will promote to a queen only if I feel that I can mate in a couple of moves. I assume my opponent doesn't want to live too long in a losing game and wants to seek his revenge on me in the following game.
