so the king just has to expend a few horses and the rest of us will block each other and never reach him.
it's hopeless. got it.
Black can only take eight pawns before losing all their knights. After that it's just a matter of laddering white pawns until they queen up
you guys alllll think that the only king on the board, protected by knights all around, is going to play by your poor people chess rules? well guess what, Not pictured all around the pawns.... are McDonald's, Starbucks, NASCAR, pop music stars, snipers, cameras, and a gun to all those pawns family members.
where is your god now
That is scenario 1, where the single pawn can't see all the other pawns, blinded by all the frivolous stuff.
Scenario 2 is checkmate in one move, take a horse with any pawn and it's smothered mate - the king dies, suffocated by the sycophants around him that are powerless to defend him from the pawn avalanche.
A really good metaphor.
No. Your pawn game must be weak as fuck if that's how you read this board.
but that will allow some of the pawns to reach the end and transition, gaining superpowers
