17 Astonishing Chess Games with 5 and 6 Queens on the Board

The chess games with 5 or 6 Queens on the board are very rare. I found only 17 such games out of 7 millions chess games of all time from 1475 to 2014. Therefore these 17 games are about 0,000243 percent of all chess games.

Six Queens on the Board, 4 games: Barroso-Puertas, Valladolid 1992; Ruecker-Schumacher, Marburg 2000; Szalanczy - Nguyen Thi Mai, Budapest 2009; Anton Guijarro - Franco Alonso, Elgoibar 2011. The good and interesting games are Szalanczy - Nguyen and Anton Guijarro - Franco Alonso. The games Barroso-Puertas and Ruecker-Schumacher are not serious and full of mistakes: probably the players wanted to draw, and decided to make the games more spectacular.

Five Queens on the Board, 13 games.
