A variant created by Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, the 18th Baron Dunsany, whose family seat is in County Meath, northwest of Dublin. He fought in the Boer War and was wounded in WWI. An excellent chess player, Lord Dunsany was the Irish champion and held the great Capablanca to a draw in a simultaneous exhibition in London; his story, Three Sailors' Gambit, is considered one of the best chess stories ever written.
 
In this variant, Black defends against a horde of White Pawns.  White wins by checkmating, Black wins by capturing all of White's Pawns.  White is slightly stronger, especially when pawn promotion becomes the goal:  two Queens behind Black's lines and the game changes very quickly.
 
What seems to be a bit of chess fun, quickly turns into a strategic nightmare.  Black will start feeling lucky anytime he / she can maneuver a draw by blocking White's forward movement.
 
Enjoy.
