Two queens? Black can't lose.

Games have been won against opponents with multiple queens

But how many have won against an opponent with no king?

There’s no king to put in check, though. But also I wasn’t talking seriously or in absolute terms.

When threatening the king is no longer an option, total annihilation of all enemy pieces is the only road to victory.
