Squatter Chess

Squatter chess is a variant in which if you get a piece to your opponents back rank you win.  I think squatter chess should be added as a variant, and on here this could mean that getting a piece to an enemy back rank counts as checkmating that player.  This could be a way to kill an army that has no king without killing all or almost all of their pieces.  It would also make it possible to takeover an army in takeover even when it has no king.

Sort of although each player would be racing to get their pieces to a different part of the board.
