So the variant is called poison squares chess. The gimmick is that every move, some squares a poison squares, so the piece occupying the square gets captured. If there is a king on the square, it switches to a different square. It starts off being only one square, then it gradually increases as the game goes on.
To play on an actual chessboard, you can roll a digital die and use a spinner for the numbers
How would that work? What would the number of poison squares be?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10…
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21…
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3…
There’s so many options

How would it increase?
How fast would it increase?
1 per turn?
1 per 2 turns
Square root of turns?

I would assume 1 per turn (as in after both white and black move, boom, poison, repeating).
Also, I think they should only spawn on empty squares.
That way, you can't run the risk of, say, getting poison on d8 after 3 moves and oops now you're down a queen for no reason.
Also, maybe the poison could "decay", so the poison only applies for, say, five moves, so the endgame isn't destroyed.
