Request: Giveaway / Loose chess

Hi together,
not sure if someone suggested this yet, but after seeing and having fun with three check, King of the Hill and Chess 960 I'd suggest another variant called "Giveaway chess".

Rules:
-Win as soon you don't have any pieces left
-If possible, you MUST capture opponent piece
-You can promote to any piece (also to king)
-If opponent makes a move and you can't do any move (stalemate), you also win
-Checkmate and checkmate doesn't matter (it's rather a bad move because you would have to capture the king in next move :P )

Best regards,

yes, i have played this before on FICS, this is a good idea.
Me too somewhere else, there is even an option of computer analysis in this variation, lot of fun^^ :)
Are you sure this is PGN compatible? Because only PGN compatible variations can be included.
It is not pgn compatible becasue king can be in check and you need not to move it. So it is not a option currently i think..
The main issue is generating a list of legal moves. The thing about the other variants that are currently available is that all the same moves are legal, so there's little special coding that needs to be done to limit the list of legal moves.

I'm not sure that king being in check is an issue for PGN.
so apart from stalemate as a win no additional rule changes are required for pgn.
