It appears to be "quickest game to get nine queens"
Doesn't seem that great...

Any ideas for what it is then? None of the queens delivers check apart from the last one, which is mate. Might have something to do with it.
I think this is just a crappy problem. Any chucklehead can edit Wikipedia.
whats the fastest way to get 18 queens on the board? how many moves? i once tried with a friend, but over the internet we had no good coordination, so we did it in 99 moves. im sure its possible much faster. if you want to see 99 moves, look here, i recorded it (after move 99 we move the queens around to make a nice pattern lol):
