If you are familiar with games workshop warhammer aos or 40k then the concept will make sense. Otherwise all you need to know about warhammer is that each sides army is assembled based on a total point value with particular units costing various amounts of points.
So I was thinking about chess in a similar way. Using the standard point evaluation for chess peices. I.e.
Pawn 1
Knight 3
Bishop 3
Rook 5
Queen 9
You can now agree on a point total with your opponent and then you can both build your sides. This would only really be possible if you have several chess sets to draw multiple peices from. My example would be agreeing on a game of 40 points each. So one guy may want 4 queens worth 36 points and 4 pawns to round out his 40 points. The other guy may decide to take 4 rooks 3 knights 3 bishop's and two pawns to make his 40 points.
Both sides must each take only one king as that price remains the crux of winning the game. Deployment could be done by alternating placing peices in your zone starting with white. Finally I think the first 3 rows should be used to deploy your peices instead of the first two as in normal chess.
After that it goes like any normal game regarding rules of play. Not sure this would really work as I have not tried myself. Just wanted to put it out there. Thanks!
