A funny evaluation from Stockfish.

I wanted to see how many pawns stockfish would say someone is up, but here it thinks black is completely winning. I let it think for some 5 minutes.

It is correct in the assessment that black is completely winning because obviously white is cheating with the 16 extra queens.

Cool find.

I tried to play on for a bit.
Always choosing the top recommended moves for both sides leads to mate in 5-10 very quickly. Interestingly enough, the non-mating moves are still rated around -90.
Choosing the top move for black and the fifth move for white, the game stalls at -99 for a while.. but at around move 20, it eventually flips to five forced mate continuations.
lifsitch please can you permit me to use the image on my own (without copyright)?I would like post it like one of my images example on whatsapp etc,if you permit me this.
lol, this is amazing. Good find.

About #4, integer overflow could actually be the only good explanation. If stockfish is programmed that it's only 9 queens on maximal for one side, they would restrict the integer to as minimal as possible, and since it can't find mate, it's probably doing just that.

I have no other explanation for that

EDIT: Stockfish found the mate:
