I came up with a chess variant idea called “Momentum Chess.”
Rules:
Normal chess rules apply, but whenever you capture a piece, you immediately get a second move with the SAME piece.
You can’t capture twice in the same turn.
If your second move puts your king in danger, it’s illegal.
Pawns that capture and reach promotion still only promote after the turn ends.
I think it would make tactics way more explosive and punish blunders instantly while still keeping normal chess strategy.
Example:
If a bishop captures a knight, the bishop gets one extra non-capturing move immediately after.
