"[Vimes] hated games they made the world look too simple. Chess, in particular, had always annoyed him. It was the dumb way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the king lounged about doing nothing. If only the pawns would've united ... the whole board could've been a republic in about a dozen moves."

@tokensane ...Has anyone actually attempted to play that? One player takes charge of the pawns, either one or two players for the remainder of the black and white pieces, normal rules of movement apply. I'm now really curious....
