'some were 'ahead' a few steps'
Is this different from what I called 'Phased Polypiece Chess'?
I guess it must be because you talk about every move changing the whole
board.
You need to explain it better, give it a nice name, and write it up as its
own page.
I can sort of guess what you have in mind, and it looks like a nice idea
but you'd have to be crazy to try to play it, don't you think?
Of course, 'crazy' for some values we're all that here I guess.
