Swap Chess

I had a silly idea for a chess variant.  It's like normal chess, except after move 10 the players swap sides!

So, each player tries to set up the worst possible opening position he can, since his opponent will have to play it.  After move 10 it's just normal chess, but with a crazy position.

One additional rule: no checks are allowed until after move 10.  This prevents people from forcing the opposing side to capture the queen.

Interesting, my brain hurts now. Sounds pretty innovative, though.

lol

dont like it cause after move 10 all sorts of captures occur taking away all positional and strategical aspects of the game!

I may be wrong, Ricardo, but, I thought you could do that here. I may be thinking of takeback games, so, I could be wrong (which many find to be often).
