I wondered what was the most extreme evaluation Stockfish could give short of forced mate, so I gave white 32 extra queens and apparently Stockfish thinks black is 64 points up? I mean there's no reason Stockfish *should* work in this scenario, it's not possible for this position to arise in chess so it's kind of an illegal extrapolation, but all the same, this seems surprising to me.

If I delete the second row of queens, now white is 60 points up. With half the queens, white is 85 points up, but add one more queen and black is 88 points up.

Anyway I guess the lesson is not to trust computers?
