Double Horde Chess

One idea I have for a variant is one similar to horde chess but, in which both players start out with 24 pawns, instead of black having the pieces and white starting out with 36 pawns. In this variant neither side would have any pieces in the starting position, and neither side would have a king. The player who captures all the pawns from the other player, including ones that have been promoted, would win the game.
The game you're looking for is checkers.

Without kings i don't see how this would ever end in any way other than a draw. With kings the draw rate would likely be pretty high at low ratings and extremely high at high ratings. There is some value playing from the normal start position but with rooks, knights, bishops, and queens removed, but that's different from your suggestion.
Lichess also can think about adding checkers here,because it's interesting game without any pieces or kings,so i agree and checkers should someone add here.
