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.
