No, you decide for your opponent when the Knight is dropped but not for yourself.

You make a move and then you say that so that my next move must be a drop.
I was thinking of this variant. Normal chess rules apply with the following modifications:
Both players start with both knights in hand, instead of on the board.
Later on the knights can be dropped. But opponents decide for eachother when they can do so. So one player would do a move and then say "Show me your knight!" and the opponent is obliged to drop his knight as next move.
Details:
- Dropping a knight counts as a move and must be done on a vacant square.
- It is allowed to drop with threats, check or even mate.
- Knights who are dropped and then later captured, are not in hand anymore. They are lost like the other pieces would be.
- If a player mates the opponent's king while the opponent still has one or two knights in hand, then the game result is draw. So if you want to win then you'll have to call both your opponent's knights!
- It is illegal to give check and then call your opponent's knight, unless the opponent can undo the check with a knight drop.
