I assumed when I saw the title progressive chess would be when during a game either you or your opponent gets down in material through either not working very hard at the board, or not studying as much as the one winning, or just being plain lazy then they could just reach over across the board & take whatever they felt was "fair" from the other player. To you know, kind of even things up again, & just do that over & over whenever they felt like being "fair" again.
I guess that wasn't it though. Hmm.
You are too material minded. I won from a grandmaster by giving up two pawns in the opening.

Regarding Progressive Chess. It has been thought to lead to a draw with best play by both sides.
I have always doubted this.
Per my recent studies, I think Progressive Chess may lead to a win for White with best play by both sides!
I'll do it.

FM Malach1971 and I wish to get together a group to play
Progressive Chess.
Here are the basics of our kind of Progressive Chess:
In the beginning White moves normally, then Black moves twice, White moves 3 times etc. You always have one move more than your opponent had on his previous move.
Your turn ends when you check your opponents king. So, you can't take your opponents king.
If you are in check then your first move must get you out of check.
Otherwise normal chess rules apply.
If you have no legal moves or you run out of legal moves during your turn, you are stalemated and the game is drawn.
If you move your pawn two steps from the original square and not after your turn, your opponent may capture that pawn en passant with his first move in the next turn, if the target square is free.
