In this game, white has a single Amazon and black has the whole army. White must try to capture as many pieces as possible, and black must protect the pieces. The queen in the corner is to prevent black to draw the game by resignation. To prevent black from getting too much material, promotion is off and to make pawns have their strength back, pawns can move sideways. Crazyhouse is to prevent black from being too powerful. Black should play perfectly,  or even a pawn blunder could lose the game. King safety is also very important for black, black should not push too many pawns or else white will invade black’s territory and checkmate him.

Status: Declined

Reason: The game has been analyzed before and is concluded to be a trivial win for black as long as they don't expose any pieces, plus forced winning lines exist as here and here. Various changes have been suggested to the variant before, not making it any more playable.

It would be a much more obvious win if promotion was enabled, I’m still skeptical on whether this is a forced with for Black regardless… but slower testing will show if that’s true

I think white has to much power with crazyhouse

White mostly cannot make progress given that black plays perfectly wink

But black mostly doesn’t play perfectly wink

how is it possible for black to mate? The knight makes it pretty much impossible for that

Tbh I kinda like this but its a bit unfair.

Black will certainly win in this case.

This is not a game, but a puzzle. 'Find checkmate in 21 for black'. Very hard puzzle

And this is solution (link below, spoiler alert)
