    A pawn-only chess variant where you must try to move one of your
    pawns to the opposite end of the board. You also win if you block
    your opponent from making a move.

    Pawns can advance one space at a time (if they are not blocked by
    an opponent's pawn), and can capture pawns that are diagonally
    in front of them.
