The second move must immediately follow the first; say, if
more than 3 seconds passes after letting go of the first
piece
you forfeit your second move. So you have to plan them
together, you can't move one piece and then think a while
about your second move. Variation: you can (cannot) move
the same piece twice this way.
This is probably a stupid idea, but it just occurred to me
and I
thought why not post it here. Discuss.

This is most certainly an idea. |

What you need is a power-law kind of random integer generator, such that the most likely number generated is 1, but there is no upper limit. Then before you play you throw this infinite dice, and then consecutively play the number of turns indicated. |

This is almost the best chess-themed idea posted
here in the past week |
|
| |
Given the idea as stated, I suppose the most obvious effect
would be to make it impossible to protect one piece with the
threat of take-back by another piece. Also, there would be no
more forks or pins. |

Here's a question; if the first of your two moves placed your
opponent's king in check, would that end the game? I suppose it
would. So, once the board opened up and the major pieces got
loose, the game would end quite quickly. |

This is actually quite interesting [+]. |

There's a chess variant called Pi, which is plated on
annular board by up to 4 players. Each quadrant of the
board is a complete 8x8 chess board, and each player
plays two sets of pieces back to back. Kings cannot move
off their initial quadrant, but the remainder of the pieces
can. And each player takes two moves at a time, which
don't have to be from different piece sets. I played it
fairly regularly in highschool, and it (temporarily) did
wonders for my normal chess game, because I learned to
look further ahead with up to 6 opponent moves between
each pair of mine. |

Someone should invent a game that combines
Chess with Monopoly. In this version of chess you
can buy the squares you land on, then collect rent
for them etc. I also propose Chess combined with
Snakes and Ladders. A bigger board with more
squares would facilitate the ladders and the pesky
snakes which would go in both directions. |

Someone should invent a game that combines Chess
with Diplomacy. All pieces move once per turn, and
turns occur simultaneously for both players. Moves are
written down ahead of time, then revealed. Two pieces
moved to the same square will "Bounce". Pieces can
"Support" another piece's move. |

Your idea - bun.
"This is probably a stupid idea... why not post it here." -
bun. |

Ah, glad to see it's a good enough idea it was invented almost
a century ago (thanks a1). And thanks to all the others who
contributed amusing follow-ups, this was as enjoyable as
learning that it's already well baked. |
