New variant idea.

+1, this is a good idea, but remove the "final board" thing because that would make games really long (remember, take time controls into account).

Ok! thanks for the recommendation!
(Warning! Nerd content ahead!!!) Hey Variant Club! You've heard of antichess, and standard chess, but just like there is anti matter and normal matter, there is also exotic matter which, fun fact, has NEGITIVE MASS!! Exotic Chess is a game I made up which is basically standard but with flippn BLACK HOLES! This is how to play.
1. When you are in check, the black hole is put on the board. the computer will randomly pick a square to place a black circle on. if the black hole is placed under the piece checking, the piece falls through and is taken off the board and the king is no longer in check. If the black hole appears under the king, its checkmate, and the king is dead. If the black hole is placed in-between the king and the piece checking, the king is no longer in check, but it is the other players turn. If the black hole is placed anywhere else, the king has to get out of check and everyone must avoid the black hole until another check takes place.
2. you can not check, skewer, pin, fork, move, or capture through a black hole.
3. if you are checkmated you can not use black holes as defense. (After all, the king is already dead).
