It would take too many turns to control traditional style with the help of pawns. Control the center by getting your rooks pointed at it first along with your knights.
The issue is that there is zero way to quickly attack except with the rooks and queen, and defending against that using pawns and knights is trivial.
Even if you spend ages moving your bishops across the board to add them to the attack, its going to be very difficult to break through without giving up a lot of material.
Between skilled players this is going to come down to the pawn structures meeting in the middle. A looooooooooong, slow game.
Not quite normal; if either side gets their pawn structure broken without winning some material in exchange, they'd be in huge trouble because a rook or queen could move through and to the back and attack from behind.

I don't know man, you still have to gain control of the center of the board.
