[Feature request ] ⅛+0 time control

Why don't we just move to the obvious outcome of all this: instant chess.

Both players start out with 20 seconds to input their first 20 premoves, and the first player to make an illegal move loses. If both players' first 20 moves haven't resulted in checkmate or an illegal move, each player then receives 10 seconds on the clock to play out the rest of the game.

The combination of luck and strategy would make it an interesting variant, imo.
I'd like to show my interest in this topic, I think it would be a cool variation. Although maybe not as a daily tournament but as an option for players to make on their own. I for one would be glad to participate in such tournaments.
It’s very fun this time control (imagine the berserk time !!!)
