Charge of the Light Brigade

This variant is from https://www.chessvariants.com/invention/charge-of-the-light-brigade. The main point of it is that Black is supposedly winning even though it would seem like White is winning if you just count the material points. By the way, White can only Promote to Queen, and Black can only Promote to Knight.

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