REVOLUTION!!!
white made a mistake letting them get this organized and this close, but can they still win?

Horses can be killed, and even a guy swinging pointy things can be overwhelmed by enough people.
I think what’s needed is the introduction of additional pieces.
I was thinking that we could replace the board with a hexagon map and replace the pieces with printed cardboard squares.
Only the last king must be checkmated because on the next move they can be killed.
Is chess actually battle or represents a battle? Because after the knight moves, it could be the end of the day where he dismounts and sets up camp for the night. The next move is the pawn sneaking diagonally into his tent in the night.
can only be slayed by queens
French Pawns can build guillotines.
The peasants can become queens, so with these numbers they have a chance (although it won't be trivial, tons of them will be wiped out before there will be queens not immediate threatened)
There is actually a chess variant quite similar:
It produces quite balanced games

Casual commenter stopping through!
I'm not skilled at chess, but this was fun to think about. If you were truly inviting speculation, that is-
Assuming the game goes til the white kings are dealt with or all black pawns are dead - white wins easily.
If the winning condition was to capture any singular king, we might have a thrilling match
I wonder what happens if the black pawns become the units they capture. As long as it doesn't work the other way around black stands a good chance
Are all pawns allowed to survive otherwise regular rules and have an option to upgrade to King?
Because if not, it appears the game already starts off at a checkmate.. ☹️
I'm curious about the analogy when it comes to pawn promotion. I'm thinking 'animal farm', if a pawn somehow makes it to the end they change color. Also I believe if acted properly white would win (given another rank of pawns, or pawns lined up touching the other pieces, pawns would have a much better chance).
Perhaps it's more of a banana republic revolution, where the people liberation hero becomes the next dictator, once the previous one has been overthrown
