Ready Chess. Pieces cannot capture right after capturing, they have to be restored first. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Another idea suggests itself:  make the pieces entirely immobile on the
next move after a capture, but the piecces are self-readying: for
example, White captures a Knight with his Queen on move 28. The Queen 
may not move or capture on move 29, but the Queen may move or capture 
normally on move 30 or later.

If this game were played with thematic Kings, this could allow a King to
administer mate--if Black's King just made a capture, White's King
could move next to it and this is check and mate since Black's King 
can't move and White's king can't be captured (if it could, the 
checking move was illegal). Capturing with a bare King would mean 
stalemate, as would capturing with your only mobile piece, if the 
opponet's move did not release any other or oyur pieces.
