@woll
The idea is to try to win a game having pieces on white side. That means that you will need to try to promote.
The number of black pieces is not important?
It might not be specified if the number of black pieces is important, but the primary objective was to concentrate in white valuable pieces.

@oruro @woll The total value of black's pieces is not in the adjudication criteria and so is irrelevant for this challenge!
