Racing Pawns--a new variant thought

Racing Pawns is a game that is based on racing kings but the goal is to race pawns

Racing Pawns is a game that is based on racing kings but the goal is to race pawns

the basic opening is like lichess.org/editor/8/8/8/8/8/KQRPprqk/RRBNnbrr/PPBNnbpp_w_-_-_0_1?variant=racingKings&color=white
and the rules are

  1. like Rk no checking
  2. the first one to let their one pawn reach the final line or eat all the opponent's pawn win the game
  3. locking kings are legal but then like atomic no checks, so checks are legal because it doesn't matter

You can't add new variants to pychess yourself. This is possible on chess.com maybe. (I not really play there )

The goal of pychess is NOT to add all the variants people able to create. The site already has too many variants and too few players. This means we will add new variants in the future only if they are really good, has some user base, very unique. Two of this at least is needed :) Combining some rules which are already there on the site is not enough. Sry.
