I have built a Dessau set that we play and make up rules as we go. A checkmate does grant control of pieces and then the king of that color is removed. To solve the pawn trek problem, pawns can move forward and then turn either way, but must stay moving that direction for the remander of the game. A question we had was this: can you move a king into check if you have a teammate moving immediately after you who will block it? Theoretically you could, because the other team could not attack the king until his turn when it would be too late. What do you think?
