Veto Chess (suggestion)

My friend created this variant, and I've played it a few times, but he's not in this club so I'm sharing it instead.

This game is similar to duck chess: it's normal chess, but each turn you can tell your opponent a move s/he cannot play. On move one, black could tell white not to play d4. This can lead to some sharp gameplay, as a game could go 1. e4 Nc6 2. Qh5 e5 3. Qxf7, at which point white could tell black he is not allowed to play Kxf7, and the game would end.

Like duck chess, I think that this variant should not just be made as a variant but also a game rule. Obviously it wouldn't work with, say, fog of war, but it could be adapted for 4PC as well as other variants such as Atomic and Antichess.

So I am asking for input. Is this a good variant/gamerule? Could it be added? Let me know!

anyway this is nice!

very creative

i like it

Deleted 8 comments that have nothing to actually do with this suggestion; Veto Chess is not cheating, it's just a gamerule where you can force your opponent to not be able to make a certain move.

oh

sorry

ChessMasterGS i get it

Vey cool and creative! I like it and I think it should be added!

Is this the friend you’re mentioning?: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-variants/variant-idea-veto-chess?page=1

I'm actually not sure. He has a few alt accounts but I don't think he was ever a mod.

Duck Chess is a slightly better variant since Red/While can’t always simply escape punishment for having material hanging where the next player has only one piece which can capture it.

interesting

is interesting, but I think it will not work with fast time controls, it will be playable only in rapid or blitz.

CGAs could you tell me if it's possible to create a gamerule of some sort? How could I test this idea? Is this at all possible? y'all would know better than me

At the moment the only way to test this is to have a friend play with you and type vetoes into chat, otherwise it would take some time to code in a new feature

oh okay.
