A new variant idea

thats the forum. we can try sample games if you'd like
they just have to be correespondence

hmmm nice

@MoonRising This seems very confusing. What if the opponent already in the opening repeats the same swap with check so you have to repeat moves without end? What if a player makes a swap that checkmates his own king? There is a rule that moving into checkmate is illegal in standard chess.

you are not allowed to do a swap that will check or checkmate your own king. However, the other opponent can do a swap to check or check mate you.

And if the same swap is repeated 3 times, it's a draw

I appreciate everyone's support and feel free to ask more questions to make sure I have thought out all aspects of the game.

WOWOW I left for a couple hours and this forum got big. I have a question, is there an opening for white that always leads to victory? That would kinda be overpowered ngl.

That is not for you ;) Don't worry even if there is, the chances of It working are slim to none.
