(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-05-16)

Over [here](https://boardgames.stackexchange.com/q/5868/20384) it was previously discussed whether one can end up with all nine queens.

There is a variant of chess called [Crazyhouse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazyhouse) in which captured pieces may be reintroduced as the capturer's. In theory, then, a player may have two queens and sixteen pawns which all may be promoted.

Is it possible to get eighteen queens without checkmating before that, or else putting the opponent into a draw?
