    There are loads of variants of chess like this. There’s a similar variant to this called Horde chess where white has no pieces but 36 pawns instead, and black has a normal setup. But there are some quite fun/whacky variants on e.g. www.chess.com/variants.

      I think that amount of pawns is pretty much what you need to make it winnable. Maybe a few less if you take black’s pawns away. Pretty sure this one, as presented, is unwinnable, which… kind of undermines the point they’re trying to make.
