Black only has pawns: Mate in what? In a standard opening position in chess, imagine that all Black pieces are removed except for the king and pawns.
[FEN &quot;4k3/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQ - 0 1&quot;]

What is the shortest forced mate, assuming White starts?
I don't know the answer to this but it seems like a fun piece of chess trivia if it is solvable.
Having run stockfish for a couple of days, I can confirm there is at least a mate in 15.
