Random Chess

I came up with a new chess variant, which I call Random chess, not to be confused with Fischer's Random Chess. Well I think it is new, but I could be wrong.

During each turn you are randomly assigned a piece type that you must move. You are only given the piece type that has any legal moves. You are only allowed to move that piece type. In online games the selection will be made by a computer. Over the board it can be done with a throw of a standard dice.

I can see this leading to some interesting games where some plans of attacks (or defence) could break down due to unlucky piece selection. So you will need to plan ahead to avoid these worst case scenarios.

Do you think this is an interesting chess variant worth exploring? Do you have any other suggestions or advice about creating new chess variants?

bro that is chess960 but more hard lol

So:
(1) No combinations;
(2) 200-300 long games with rock solid positions;
Is it interesting?

P.S. My opinion: any randomness in chess is not good , Fischer's Random Chess is the exception and good illustration off randomness problems in chess (for example, not any random setup is allowed).

If change this to "During each turn you are assigned a piece type that you must move, but not random - best some predictable chess engine move , but only piece type". Than this may be good didactic chess variant

1. I think you could still have combinations, but there is a chance that they may not work.
2. I am not sure about that. I haven't actually tried playing this variant with anyone. Because of the random nature, if you are attacked you may not be able to take back immediately and this weakens the defence. It does mean that it helps to double up on your defence.

Some other things I thought:

• Due to randomness you could potentially win from a losing position or lose from a winning positions. Keeps you on your toes
• In some cases you may want to reduce the number of piece types you have so that randomness has a smaller effect, making it easier to play
