Prügelpreußen
Casual play recommended, variant is solved, no draws exist.
Also called "Bauernkloppe" or "Pawn Brawl" the variant is usally used in education to teach zugzwang and pawn structures, despite being solved it is suprisingly competitve and complicated.
The Rules:

This is a user-catalogued casual variant. Technical details such as board size,
FEN, pieces, and hand rules are defined in the Fairy-Stockfish
