A time based variant

I had this idea a while ago for a variant. 

The game starts at if it was a 31|0 

however anytime a piece is taken you lose the pieces point value in minutes.

so if your pawn is taken you loose a minute of time. 

Your Queen is taken you loose 9 minutes. 

no matter how fast you are if you exchange everything you will run out of time. 

If you promote no time is added to the clock. 

What do you think?

Very interesting. You will have to play WAY more defensively. Also when your opponent doesn’t have a lot of time you can start trading pieces.

Exactly. I might always plays super fast to not waste time in case we trade everything but my opponent is playing slower and more deliberate.

I'm fairly sure there is no way (currently) to make this variant. At least we can chat about it
