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.

Horde Chess is also avaiable at Lichess.org, a big non-profit and open source alternative to Chess.com.

And if a pawn gets promoted, it's a class traitor and becomes your opponent's piece?
-
how about that counts as breaching the armoury and having access to their weapons?
-
becomes a stalin piece

I don't think it would be particularly fun.
Sacrifice a tower (I forgot the English name) to get access to a corner, then get the queen in the lower left/right corner within 3 moves.
Then pick up the pawns one after the other from behind. The pawns themselves cannot move quickly to the other side because they need to keep a "triangle" formation for safety which requires time to build up.

The word you're looking for is Rook.

Is this a commentary on how some of the pawns get to the end and become Queens, thus perpetuating the cycle?
-
It would be funny if there was a condition that made them join the other side after being promoted.

When the pawn get to the end trotski and lenin die mysteriously

Once you show the horsies that they're being treated like disposable animals it's gg
-
Anecdotal but I have not enjoyed it so far.
-
I remember playing something similar back in the day, the difference was that the pawn side got to move twice each turn.
-
What happens if one of the ruling class pieces gets behind the pawns, couldn't they pick them off slowly?
-
Pawns can be promoted to queens when they get to the other side, and when the elite pieces get past the pawns they get promoted to 'media', and can slowly, but surely, pick them off.

Variations like this are pretty standard for chess students.

Sounds like an advanced version of Fox Game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_games
-
If this might be a euphemism for billionaires fighting or controlling wider society, there would be at least 1000 rows of pawns.
-
And half the white pawns are capturing the black pawns because they are "cops".
Good luck winning that game.

Seems way too stacked in favor of black. In fact, I feel like it's a forced win in like 30 moves or less. Can someone knowledgeble plug this into fairy stockfish or something to confirm?

surely only the 4 front black pawns can advance, all other pawns are locked in place by the polarising media owned by the elite
unless the 4 white pawns at the back become queens and can advance in any direction, because they're glamourous trendsetters from wealthy backgrounds who also want to take down the elite
While we're at it, the elite white side has no shortage of pawns making over $100k with a nice sign-on bonus.
