Of all the recorded chess games, what is the most ambitious pawn
anyone is aware of? For instance, is there a game in the books where
the b pawn made 6 captures and promoted on h8? Or maybe it didn't
promote, but simply captured far more than the typical amount of
material for a pawn?

Just a random curiosity on a rainy Thursday evening...

I played this game on the bottom board of the middlesex league over 10
years ago against what was obviously a rank beginner :

1. e4 f5 2. exf5 e5 3. Qh5+ g6 4. fxg6 Nf6 5. g7+ Nxh5 6. gxh8=Q

I showed this masterpiece to my club mates and one of them said that
they had seen that sequence before in some book.
But surely you mean serious chess )
