Rules: 2-player custom position game with dead pieces. Pawns promote to one-point queens on the 11th rank. The two royal kings are on the side and are 5-check.

Theme- The theme of this variant is to use your knights. Knights are the only pieces that can jump between walls, and can give a check to the royal king on the other side. They are the only way to access the dead queens below your army, so you really don't want to lose them. The knights may seem OP, but the 5-checks were enough to get by in most of the testing games (there were a few expectations, though).

Time Control- 1 minute with a 1-second increment.

You can only use knights and the queen at the side for checkmate...

Yeah checkmate is out of the question

the only way to win is to either gain points or win on time

wait so this is just normal chess but with no royals?

With Side things and the royal piece is on the side (and you can also eat more points under the ’Normal chess’)

I've played games like this, they're ok but I feel like it's too similar to other games it may not get accepted

Cool.

Interesting idea: the kings are off to the side, and the majority of the board cannot affect it. All the dead queens except for the corner ones get captured immediately, and then it's a normal game. The issue is, winning is extremely difficult. Since the corner queens can never be captured, 36 points are added to the "claim win" requirement: in other words, you need an advantage of more than 56 points to claim win. That's pretty much impossible unless your opponent thought he queued for antichess. Checkmate is extremely difficult; you can bring your knights over, but your opponent will see you bringing knights over and he will bring his knights as well. The pawns aren't going to be promoting, so it's a few knights against a few knights (the queens will be obstructed) with limited mobility and not many checking squares. The only way to win is flagging, which is not good for any custom position.
