Only 3 queens are more than enough to checkmate your opponent before he or she reaches the end of the counting rules (of 64 moves, number of chessmen left on the board are included before the counting begins. In this case -the opponent's one naked king, your king and the rest three queens, make the counting of five, so the next move of the naked king is six.) Normally, a beginner of Thai chess can do his or her job by checking mate his or her opponent's king within fifty moves (of the naked king.) This is the easiest way of checking mate.
