description Peasant's Revolt Overview
Peasant's Revolt is an asymmetric chess variant in which a small group of royal pieces faces a much larger force of pawns. The imbalance changes the usual objectives of development and material exchange, requiring the side with pieces to survive against advancing pawns and the pawn side to coordinate its numerical advantage. The variant is associated with Howard Staunton, who published it in the nineteenth century.
