If His Highness does have 16 kings, it seems to me a steady progress of pawns across the board could lead to several checkmates. Eight queens would be a different story.
The pawns can move in such a way as to protect all the squares in front of them. Since a king can never move into check, the pawns can force a stalemate. This would be an interesting game to try.

But remember, if you win even with this much of a disadvantage, it’s off with your head.

In order to win, does he have to take all the kings, or just one?.And boss, better not let the queen see that you’ve given her no place on that board.

The serf got rooked.

but the serf doesn’t have a king, and a pawn can’t be promoted to a king, so how can he lose?

The pawn’s have the advantage… Remember the kings can only move 1 square at a time. They can’t castle , no rooks.

Chess emulates life. The Queen is the most powerful and the King is always being attacked.
