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

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

There's a variant called 'horde' on lichess where it's evenly balanced, and pretty fun!

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

Yeah but then black becomes the very thing they swore to destroy.
