Chess related mobile minigame idea (and prototype video)

Hello!
I got an idea for a chess related mobile minigame.

You play on a 3 by infinity chess board and you go up with a pawn, capturing everything you can. You can tap on left, middle or right side of your screen to go there. Of course pawn movement rules apply, and you lose if you make illegal move. You also get 1 point for a pawn, 3 for a minor piece and 5 points for a rook, 9 points for the queen. There is time increment for each move.

I made a working prototype so see it in action for yourself. Sorry for the vertical on horizontal video.

What do you think about it?
Should I call it: Pawn Grabber or Pawn Racer? Any other ideas?
Respect! I think Pawn Racer suits it with the added caveat that it's a two player game, each racing to a designated finish line. Maybe Time trials with checkpoints for single player? Anyhow, good job, props for making something.
@Tymski Great job! I personally think the name should be Pawn Racer. Just some advice, I think that it could get boring over time so perhaps as @The_Apache said a two-player mode, where you can race, but I think a problem is that your only enemy is time, perhaps it could be similar to the king game found when you go to a non-existent page on lichess, ex. lichess.org/ashodhebvweaifp and you can't let your pawn get captured, so maybe you get two pawns and a king and you have to always have a pawn defended if it's going to advance to say, attack a queen.
