The game: Pawn race is a game similar to chess, played on a normal chess board (with 8x8 squares), but having only pawns as pieces. The game is won by whichever player manages to promote one of his pawns before his opponent or capture all of the opponent's pawns. If a player runs out of valid moves because all of his pawns are blocked from moving, the game is considered a stale-mate, which is a draw.
