white made a mistake letting them get this organized and this close, but can they still win?

Black already lost when they sacrificed their king.

They didn’t sacrifice King, the CIA murdered him.

Casual commenter stopping through!

I’m not skilled at chess, but this was fun to think about. If you were truly inviting speculation, that is-

Assuming the game goes til the white kings are dealt with or all black pawns are dead - white wins easily.

If the winning condition was to capture any singular king, we might have a thrilling match

I wonder what happens if the black pawns become the units they capture. As long as it doesn’t work the other way around black stands a good chance

Yeah but then black becomes the very thing they swore to destroy.

There’s a variant called ‘horde’ on lichess where it’s evenly balanced, and pretty fun!

I have nothing to disprove you but I think you’re right.

Are all pawns allowed to survive otherwise regular rules and have an option to upgrade to King?

Because if not, it appears the game already starts off at a checkmate… ☹️

The victory conditions are:

  • black: kill sufficient kings so that the others divest their wealth.
  • white: kill sufficient pawns such that the rebel spirit is broken, and they surrender
