What I had in mind would be a non-royal king variant.

The name kids for the pawns came because they are helpless, not even flee
they can! And theirs attacks are feeble ('bite and scratch').

In this variation the objective would be exterminate all the opposite
pawns.

About the idea of working or not, that's a good question... I had a
Chemistry teacher that loves to talk about the theoretical compounds and
tell wich was real and wich as not.

Perhaps  there's variations that only work in theory, as some pieces, but
they can help to develop others that are real.

So, would be nice if we get just theoretical pieces and variants in one
space.

Thanks!
