Horde Attack

Knights and bishops vanish as a pawn horde grows.

The affected side begins without knights or bishops. From completed player moves 3 through 10, up to two safe pawns emerge each turn closest to that side's king, with a maximum of sixteen generated pawns.

Difficulty: extremeDuration: 2 levels

Turn the constraint
into a lever.

Plan around it

  • Use the growing pawn wall to close space around the enemy king.

Keep in mind

  • New Horde pawns cannot use an initial two-square advance.
  • Spawned pawns otherwise behave like normal pawns.
