    I don't think it would be particularly fun.

    Sacrifice a tower (I forgot the English name) to get access to a corner, then get the queen in the lower left/right corner within 3 moves.

    Then pick up the pawns one after the other from behind. The pawns themselves cannot move quickly to the other side because they need to keep a "triangle" formation for safety which requires time to build up.

    Still, a good way to get rid of some troublesome pawns.

      I'm not sure a sacrifice is even needed. You just need to get the queen to the backline and wreak havoc.

        surely only the 4 front black pawns can advance, all other pawns are locked in place by the polarising media owned by the elite

        unless the 4 white pawns at the back become queens and can advance in any direction, because they're glamourous trendsetters from wealthy backgrounds who also want to take down the elite

        While we're at it, the elite white side has no shortage of pawns making over $100k with a nice sign-on bonus.

          If they stay in formation you can always force a sacrifice. The pawns will always capture at least one piece.

            Yeah, but you can kill off like three elites towards one side and you'll have open access to get behind the pawns with a queen or rook and just lay waste unchecked.

              The word you're looking for is Rook.

                Yeah, that's what the first comment above was saying. The one I responded to was wondering if a sacrifice is necessary, and I'm pretty sure it 100% is. It's still trivial to win, but you do need to lose a piece.

                  Seems way too stacked in favor of black. In fact, I feel like it's a forced win in like 30 moves or less. Can someone knowledgeble plug this into fairy stockfish or something to confirm?

                    But the queen can move diagonally between the formation.

                      Yeah, there are ways it could be done, but only if the other player makes a horrible mistake. You wouldn't leave an opening like that where the queen can move. Maybe with queens, bishops, and knights combined you could force an opening. I don't know. It seems unlikely though. I guess a key exploit would be that they have to always move forward, but you can stall forever. Maybe that allows you to exploit a gap.

                        Is this a commentary on how some of the pawns get to the end and become Queens, thus perpetuating the cycle?

                          And if a pawn gets promoted, it's a class traitor and becomes your opponent's piece?

                            If this might be a euphemism for billionaires fighting or controlling wider society, there would be at least 1000 rows of pawns.

                              And half the white pawns are capturing the black pawns because they are "cops".

                              Good luck winning that game.
