Chessboard Materials [FEN &quot;rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR&quot;]

Starting a game with a total of 78 point-value, how many legal moves are required to produce the maximum total point-value on a chessboard?
Of course, promoting all the pawns to queens must be done. Creating sixteen passed pawns requires sacking eight pieces, four per side. The sacked pieces should be the knights and bishops to preserve the higher value pieces. From there, it's merely an &quot;Onward, ho!&quot; to a total point value of 182, which comes from the nines queens and two rooks on each side.
Here is one example game in 51 moves, or 102 plies. Since getting 18 queens alone takes 48 moves, or 96 plies, this is almost optimal, I feel.
