This is probably a forced win for the crusader if he has the first move (f2 needs to be protected by playing Nf3).
The problem is that the queens are too valuable. If white plays it right, they can not exchange themself against the white pieces. So white can slowly advance his pawns, supported by his pieces and black can not do much against. The eval around -10 in the start position is therefore wrong.
Example game played by me against engine (with loots of undos for me):
The Harem can only win if the queens manage to get behind whites pawns. That strategy is comparable to that of black in Horde.
This is a good piece placement training.
If you are able to win this with white with less than three undos against strongest computers you can consider yourself a positional pro.
