I programmed a simple game played on a square board  like a chess board with 
opposing pieces(black and white) lined up along the end ranks.
The players take turns to move,and the pieces can move only straightforward 
one square at a time (onto unoccupied squares),and can capture an opposing 
piece only one square diagonally forward (like regular pawns in chess).
The object is to get a pawn to the other side of board.
The game is drawn if the player whose turn it is cannot move.
The board can be any size greater than 3 by 3 squares.

I want to ask if there exist such a game and if anyone programmed it.
I want to know also about a good evaluation function for such a game.
